2pin 40A 250VAC female blue Neutrik NL2FX speakON twistable and locking loudspeaker connector for 6-10mm cable *new*

This is one of the most popular type of an audio connectors in use when connecting speakers. This is perhaps one of the best reasonable priced connectors available on the market. Connector can be used with sound reinforcement equipment when connecting speakers to amplifiers or in your own stuff as a device low voltage power connector (manufacturer though does not officially condone the last use).

Here is a few good properties regarding this connector:

• Coupling is made with one hand
• Connection is locked by turning connector clockwise and opening by releasing the locking clip and rotating counter clockwise
• Shocking hard 40A continuous current capability, with vibration resistant spring loaded contacts
• Good strain relief and sturdy lead connection
• Field installation is possible with the help of a screw driver and a side pliers (also Leatherman or similar multitool will do)
• Durable construction (if these withstand in the hands of a band’s bass player then surely they will withstand in your use)
• Idiot proof, connectors do mate only with the opposite gender connectors (no sexual minority like connections) and connectors connections are protected from touching from electrical point of view.
• On the downside, it should be noted that the connection of the connector under load is not permitted by the manufacturer. However, with our own experience with smaller loads, this has been done, though still not recommended procedure.
