3-Pin XLR Female Connector

This 3-pin XLR female connector provides a compact termination for microphone cables. It is designed for audio professionals and hobbyists who need a reliable jack for headset microphones, wireless microphones or similar equipment. The heavy-duty metal housing protects the insert and ensures a secure connection to a male XLR plug. Assembly is quick and screw-free thanks to a four-piece design.

18AWG and 6mm Cable Limits

The connector accepts cables up to 18AWG in conductor size and accommodates an outside diameter of 6mm. Thicker conductors or larger jacket diameters will not fit the terminal openings or the strain relief. The nickel-plated contacts are sized for this specific wire gauge range, so exceeding it compromises the electrical connection and mechanical grip.

Compact Headset and Wireless Use

The short body length makes this connector suitable for tight spaces on headset booms or wireless transmitter packs. It comfortably handles standard microphone-level signals for voice and instrument pickup. Runs of very long cable or high-power speaker-level signals are outside the intended application for this compact jack design.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm version for my microphone cable?

This connector is a 3-pin XLR female jack; the 2.5 mm and 3.5 mm labels refer to the cable family, not to this XLR plug itself.

What does “accepts up to 18 AWG cable” mean when I’m soldering it?

You can use any stranded wire up to 18 AWG; thicker gauges will not fit through the terminals.

Does the nickel-plated XLR jack limit the signal quality compared with gold contacts?

Nickel plating provides reliable conductivity for microphone-level audio; the connection quality is set by the XLR interface itself.
