XLR connectors are rugged electrical connectors which are used mostly in professional audio and video electronics cabling applications.
Some examples of application areas of XLR connectors are:
The international application standard IEC 60 268-12 defines wiring of XLR connectors. The following is a brief description of the 3 pole version.
Yes, according to our tests they work properly for digital AES/EBU signals but we recommend our EMC and XCC series with a 360° ground contact to the chassis connector and a circumferential cable shield connection. These connectors are ideal for digital AES/EBU transmissions and optimized regarding EMI and RF-leakage
The 2 piece D-Series connectors consist of an insert and a shell, this allows soldering the insert onto the PCB and locking it into the shell afterwards.
In the middle of the insert your can see a hole with a slot. Use a ’00’ size flathead screwdriver (part # SD-1) to lock/unlock the insert in the housing.
