Description
The MA3FP3 is a rugged metal adapter connector designed to bridge a 3-pin XLR female input with a 6.35mm (1/4″) stereo plug output. Built with a strong zinc die-cast shell, the MA3FP3 is engineered for durability and long-term reliability in professional audio applications such as live sound, studio recording, and broadcast environments. Its gold-plated copper alloy contacts ensure low contact resistance and stable signal transfer, while the latch-lock mechanism provides a secure, reliable connection during use. Rated for over 1,000 mating cycles, the MA3FP3 is a dependable solution for audio engineers, technicians, and integrators who need a compact, high-quality adapter for connecting XLR-based equipment to 6.35mm stereo devices.
Key Features
- Reliable Signal Conversion: Converts a 3-pin XLR female connection to a 6.35mm (1/4″) stereo plug, enabling seamless interfacing between XLR and stereo phone-jack equipment.
- Durable Zinc Die-Cast Construction: A strong zinc die-cast shell delivers long service life and high mechanical reliability, even under repeated use.
- Gold-Plated Contacts: Copper alloy contacts with gold plating minimize contact resistance (≤3mΩ inner, ≤6mΩ outer) for a clean, stable signal path.
- Secure Latch Lock: A latch-lock design keeps the connection firmly in place, preventing accidental disconnection during operation.
- Long Operating Life: Rated for more than 1,000 mating cycles, ensuring consistent performance over extended use.
- High Dielectric Strength: Withstands 1.5kVdc (XLR side) and 1kVdc (plug side), supporting safe, stable operation.
- Excellent Insulation Resistance: Insulation resistance greater than 2GΩ helps prevent signal leakage and interference.
Material and Environmental Specifications
- Contacts: Copper alloy (Cu alloy) for reliable conductivity.
