Connector DELOCK 86790 female 6.35 mm black/silver, 25.2×31.5×31.4 mm

DELOCK 86790 is a female wire connector designed for 6.35 mm (1/4") contacts, finished in black and silver. The compact module measures 25.2 × 31.5 × 31.4 mm and is supplied in a polybag. It provides a standardized mating interface for audio, signal or low-voltage wiring and can be mounted in panels or cases with D-type openings used for XLR jacks, allowing simple integration of analogue devices into professional audio systems.

Advantages

The connector offers a compact footprint and a standard 6.35 mm female contact suitable for common audio and signal applications. Its metal contact finish ensures reliable electrical contact, while the outer housing in black provides a neat, low-profile appearance. The module is prepared for panel mounting in D-type openings, enabling secure mechanical installation and straightforward replacement or upgrade of analog input/output points.

Suitable for

• Audio equipment wiring and patch panels
• Signal connections in low-voltage control systems
• Panel or case mounting in devices with D-type openings for XLR jacks
• Repair, retrofit or modular builds of analogue gear

How to use

Prepare the panel or case cutout to match the D-type opening dimensions for XLR jacks, then insert the connector into the opening until it seats securely. Route the internal wiring to the connector terminals and make the required solder or crimp connections according to the signal design. Confirm mechanical fixation and ensure the contact polarity and continuity with a multimeter before powering the system. Use standard 6.35 mm male plugs for mating and avoid excessive mechanical stress on the connector during insertion and removal.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, use appropriate strain relief for internal wiring, avoid exposing the connector to corrosive environments, and check contact integrity periodically if used in professional audio installations. Ensure that wiring and mating plugs match the intended signal type and voltage levels to prevent damage.
