FAQs

What is the weight of the F343G connector?

The connector weighs 0.01kg.

Is this connector compatible with standard XLR cables?

No, this is a mini XLR connector designed for smaller devices; it will not mate with standard full-sized XLR (XLR-3) connectors.

Can I use this for instrument cables?

Yes, it is suitable for instruments that use mini XLR connections, such as certain high-end wireless beltpacks for guitar pickups.

What material is the body made of?

The body is constructed from precision-machined, nickel-plated brass.

How do I ensure the correct polarity?

The connector is designed with keyed parts that act as a guide; ensure the alignment notch is matched before inserting.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent audio signal

Check your solder joints for cold joints or loose wires inside the connector housing.

Connector will not lock into port

Ensure the connector is properly oriented according to the keying slots and verify the latch spring is not obstructed.

Difficulty assembling the housing

Ensure all internal components are seated correctly within the brass body before tightening the rear cap.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality nickel-plated brass body
  • Secure positive latching mechanism
  • Compact and lightweight for portable use
  • Clear polarisation for error-free mating

Cons

  • Small size requires precise soldering skills
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty outdoor exposure without additional shielding
  • Requires specific miniature cable gauges for optimal fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure a successful setup, strip your cable leads carefully to avoid cutting into the internal conductors. We recommend using a high-quality solder to ensure a low-resistance signal path. The connector is compatible with standard 3-pin mini XLR inputs found on various wireless transmitters and portable preamps. Regarding care, keep the connector pins clean and free of debris to maintain signal integrity. If the latching action feels stiff over time, a microscopic amount of electronic-grade lubricant can be applied to the locking tab, though this is rarely necessary under normal indoor use.
