Description

The Neutrik NAC3FXXA-W-L is a locking AC mains cable connector from Neutrik's Powercon FXXA/FXXB series, built around screw terminals that accept cable diameters from 10 to 16mm. The connector uses a three-conductor single-phase configuration with keying and colour coding for power-out applications, and pairs with Powercon XX Series receptacles to provide circuit-breaking capability when disconnected under load.

Designed for professional audio, lighting and AV installations where standard appliance couplers lack the durability or security needed, the NAC3FXXA-W-L serves applications from touring production to fixed installation in theatres, studios and live venues. The twist-lock mechanism requires a quarter-turn to engage or release the connection, preventing accidental disconnection during use. The screw terminals provide a gas-tight connection suitable for high-current loads and environments with vibration or movement.

The strain relief clamps directly onto the cable jacket and locks mechanically with the internal insert, aligning automatically with the housing during assembly. This removes the need for secondary cable glands or separate strain relief components. The IP20 rating provides protection against finger contact and objects larger than 12.5mm, suitable for dry indoor environments. The connector is rated for typically 5,000 mating cycles and operates across a temperature range from -33°C to +80°C.

Frequently Asked

What cable sizes does it accept?

The NAC3FXXA-W-L accepts cables with outer diameters from 10mm to 16mm. The integrated strain relief clamps directly onto the cable jacket within this range without needing separate adaptor bushes.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

The IP20 rating provides protection against finger contact and larger objects but offers no moisture ingress protection. It is designed for dry indoor environments only. For outdoor or wet locations, consider Neutrik's weatherproof Powercon TRUE1 series with IP65 rating.

What does the twist-lock mechanism do?

The twist-lock system requires a quarter-turn rotation to fully engage the connector with its mating receptacle. Once locked, the connection cannot be pulled apart accidentally, preventing disconnection during transport, vibration or load movement.

Can it break circuits under load?

When paired with Powercon XX Series receptacles, the NAC3FXXA-W-L provides circuit-breaking capability, meaning the connection can be safely disconnected while current is flowing without arcing or damage to the contacts.
