These are a lower cost version of the Neutrik A series plastic-bodied XLR panel connectors from Neutrik. They have the smallest size and highest packing-density (23mm between centres). The AA series offers low-cost, basic, plastic-shell connectors. Female and male connectors have the same panel cutout and mountings and all connectors have 'tulip' profile, hard gold-plated contacts, for the highest durability.
Panel fastening of these connectors is by self-tapping screws, type PT, with thread 2.9 x 1.06 (DIN7990), stock codes 40-927 (pan head) and 40-932 (countersunk).
Two orientations of the PCB pins are available in this series.
H = Horizontal PCB, i.e. angled pins
V = Vertical PCB, i.e. straight pins
