How to disassamble Neutrik XLR ?

Bernhard · 17th September 2007, 08:17 PM

There are Neutrik XLR connectors with pins soldered into the pcb and connectors are mounted on a plate. It is not possible to remove the PCB without disassembling the connectors.
The plastic parts have to be pulled out of the outer metal parts.
How is that possible ??? Any trick ?

In a plastic part there is a hole for a flat screwdriver. You need to turn the lock and the metal housing will come off.

OK, thanks, it is just a little hard...

If the connector is from the Neutrik 2 pc D series the following advice might help
(Info from Neutrik's own FAQ list)

The 2 pc D-Series connectors consist of an insert and shell, this allows soldering the insert onto the PCB and locking it into the shell afterwards. In the middle of the insert is a hole with a slot.

Using a ‘00’ size flathead screwdriver (part # SD-1) it is possible to lock/unlock the insert in the housing.

Hehehe Peter beat me to it

hello , my phonostage is humming on my right speaker and i found this little screw fell out of the right XLR female connector (in the phonostage)

the screw was put back but it just turns and turns without any bite - it appears to somehow anchor the XLR connector to the PCB but was wondering if it has an earth function . Is there a threaded sleeve this little screw should insert into that may be lost ? many thanks for any help

hello.
annother question:
did you have a look at the soldering points of your connectors (right channel)............perhaps there is a bad one.

hi

its not the best soldering job ive seen , but with my multimeter i get continuity between each pin and its corresponding point on the PCB , just curious about the role of the screw and what its supposed to thread into
