SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity XLR Coupler with Strain Relief, 3-Pin Female, Nickel-Plated Zinc Die-Cast, Solder Termination 55020

The SHIVERPEAKS S/CONN maximum connectivity XLR Coupler with Strain Relief (55020) stands apart from ordinary inline adapters by combining a rugged zinc die-cast housing with an integrated cable clamp that locks the outer jacket firmly in place. This design prevents accidental pull-out and protects solder joints from mechanical stress, making it ideal for stage boxes, studio patchbays, and mobile AV racks where reliability is non-negotiable.

Highlights

• 3-pin XLR female-to-female coupler with integrated strain relief for secure cable retention
• Nickel-plated zinc die-cast shell resists corrosion, scratches, and daily wear
• Brass contacts with nickel plating ensure low contact resistance and long mating life
• Solder termination accepts cable outer diameters from 3.5 mm to 8.0 mm
• Rated for 10 A per contact and 50 V – suitable for audio, lighting, and control signals

In daily use

Installing the 55020 is straightforward: strip the cable, solder the conductors to the clearly marked solder cups, then tighten the strain relief clamp around the cable jacket. The clamp grips cables with outer diameters between 3.5 mm and 8.0 mm, covering most standard microphone and DMX cables. Once assembled, the coupler provides a robust inline extension point that can be mounted in a panel cut-out or left free-hanging. The nickel-plated zinc housing offers excellent shielding and durability, while the smooth mating surface ensures easy connection and disconnection even after hundreds of cycles.
