The AC3FAVL2-AU-PRE is a 3-pole, A-type female XLR chassis mount connector designed for vertical PCB mounting. It features a non-latching (latchless) design with gold-plated bronze contacts for reliable connectivity and is rated for a current carrying capacity of 6A. This model incorporates a specific grounding link that connects the mating connector shell to the chassis, with Pin 1 as a separate ground. The compact shell design allows for significant space savings over traditional 'D' type shells, making it ideal for high-density OEM applications in professional audio equipment.
