SHIVERPEAKS BASIC-S XLR Female Coupler with Strain Relief, 3-Pin, Nickel-Plated Zinc Diecast, Solder Termination, BS55020

With a dielectric strength of 1.5 kVDC and insulation resistance exceeding 1 GΩ, this XLR female coupler is built for reliable signal integrity in professional audio setups. The SHIVERPEAKS BASIC-S BS55020 combines a rugged zinc diecast housing with nickel-plated brass contacts to deliver consistent performance over more than 1000 mating cycles.

Overview

The SHIVERPEAKS BASIC-S XLR female coupler is a 3-pin cable-mount connector engineered for secure, low-noise audio connections. Its integrated strain relief protects solder joints from cable pull and flex, accommodating cable diameters from 4 mm to 7 mm. The nickel-plated zinc diecast shell provides excellent shielding and durability, while the nickel-plated brass contacts ensure low contact resistance and corrosion resistance. Suitable for microphones, mixers, and stage equipment, this coupler operates reliably across a wide temperature range from -30°C to +80°C.
