From RS Pro, these Multipole audio/video connectors are manufactured for professional use. The “AXR”/”XLR” compatible connectors are precision made with zinc diecast bodies and silver-plated, solid brass turned contacts. A huge benefit of these connectors is the “squeeze” release clip, which enables plugs and sockets to be unplugged quickly with a simple push-down device. Wiring and assembly are also simple operations and a collet arrangement can accommodate cable diameters ranging from 2.8 mm to 8.0 mm to provide an effective cable grip. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality.

How to clean XLR Connectors safely and correctly?

In general, the tolerance to dirt or contamination for XLR Connectors is relatively low; however, regular inspections and cleaning like for any other electrics is essential. We are recommending using our tested RS PRO electrical contact cleaning equipment 554-298.

Using swabs or cloths might decrease contact performance and lifespan of the Connector; therefore, it is vital to use checked and approved cleaning solutions.

What is the difference between Male and Female Connectors?

A Male Connector has solid pins (usually between 3-pin to 7-pins) whereas Female Connector has central conductor with a-holes.
