The Ace Backstage C-15102 is a D-series panel-mount female XLR receptacle built on the Neutrik NC3FD-L platform, intended for audio integrators and stage technicians who need a secure, permanent connector in patch panels, stage boxes, and wall plates. The locking mechanism is the critical differentiator here — once mated, the connector resists pull-out forces that would unseat a standard receptacle, making it appropriate for touring infrastructure and permanently installed systems where reliability under stress is non-negotiable.
Solder cup termination gives installers full control over conductor attachment, favored in custom-wired panels where crimp or IDC methods are impractical or unsuitable. Silver contacts ensure low-resistance signal transfer across the rated 7.5A per contact capacity, supporting both mic-level and line-level balanced audio. The black metal Universal D-size housing drops into any standard D-series panel cutout, maintaining compatibility with the broad ecosystem of D-series panel hardware common in professional AV installation. Each unit is bagged individually, suited for single-connector replacements or incremental panel builds without excess stock commitment.
Rated IP 40 for protection against solid particle ingress and tested across a wide operating temperature range, this receptacle holds up in rack environments, portable stage boxes, and climate-variable touring applications. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating satisfies installation code requirements in venues and permanent installs where flame-spread compliance is mandatory.
