GBC 30.5604.00 XLR Panel Socket – 4-Pole Female, Solder & Retaining Hook, Nickel Brass

The GBC 30.5604.00 is a 4-pole female XLR connector designed for flush panel mounting. It accepts solder-type termination and includes a retaining hook to secure the mating plug once connected, preventing accidental disconnection during use.

Built from nickel-plated brass throughout, both the housing and the contacts offer consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The panel-mount format makes it suitable for fixed installations such as stage boxes, patch panels, and rack equipment.
