Neutrik NP3X 1/4″ Stereo Male Connector

Neutrik NP3X 1/4″ Stereo Male Connector

Professional 3-Pole 1/4″ NP3X Connector, Nickel Contacts, Nickel Shell

The professional NP3X series connector enhances the design of the existing C series by offering the thinnest A-gauge 1/4″ connector available on the market, with Neutrik’s unique chuck-type strain relief system. The slimline shell, with a width of 14.5 mm, meets the latest requirements for densest patch panels (15.88 mm jack pitch).

The precisely machined one-piece tip contact, without rivets, makes it unique and prevents snagging in a socket or tip breakage.

The Plug X series is suitable for all applications such as guitar applications, audio cables, snakes, speakers, amplifiers, and mixing consoles.
