AC Z SERIES XLR METAL CHASSIS MOUNT CONNECTORS The metal chassis mount Z series connectors are designed for the audio user where durability, reliability and strength across a wide range of applications are important. All AC products are manufactured to the highest quality standards and will withstand the harshest environments. This range complies with IEC268-12 and AES 14-1992 standards. CSA File Number 68598 Features The "D" size housing can be either front or rear mounted using the same panel cutout. The "P" size housing is the original wide flange front mounting XLR connector. "PN" is the original narrow flange front mounting male connector. A leading first mate last break socket contact is standard on all female connectors (Pin 1). Solder cup or versions. Connectors are fitted with a grounding system for RFI shielding applications. Available in 3, 4, 5, 6A and 7 contact arrangements. Compatible with all other XLR brands. Options Solder Bucket termination contacts Zinc Diecast Shell - Satin Zinc Diecast Shell - Black Polyester Finish Gold, Silver or Tin Plated Contacts aging Single Bag packs Precision machined contacts Cost effective stamped contacts on 3 pole Latchless versions (Non-Latching) (Female only) Note: A ground tag is standard on all AC "Z" series connectors. Although the ground tag is intended for RFI shielding applications, Amphenol cannot guarantee its effectiveness in all cases. The non-conductive Black polyester finish insulates the ground tag from the shell and should not be used in applications requiring ground contact to the shell.
