Neutrik NAC3F-TRUE1-S powerCON TRUE1 Locking True Mains Connector
The Neutrik NAC3F-TRUE1-S is a heavy-duty locking true mains connector engineered for harsh and demanding professional applications. As part of the powerCON TRUE1 series, it carries full breaking capacity (CBC) — meaning it can be safely connected or disconnected under load or live, unlike standard appliance couplers that require de-energizing before handling. This single-phase female connector delivers a secure, twist-lock power connection rated at 16A/250V AC (Europe) and 20A/250V AC (US/Canada).
For production professionals, touring engineers, and AV integrators searching for the best locking power connector for live sound or permanent installations, the NAC3F-TRUE1-S eliminates connection failures at the source. Its IP65/IP67 protection rating (mated or with closed cap) makes it a reliable choice for outdoor stages, touring rigs, and any environment where moisture, dust, or mechanical stress threaten power integrity. The S-version is certified for H05VV-F 3G1.5mm², H05VV-F 3G2.5mm², H07RN-F 3G 1.5mm², and SJOOW 14/3 AWG cable types — covering the most common flexible cable assemblies in professional audio and event production.
Certified to IEC 60320-1, EN IEC 60320-1, UL 60320-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60320-1, and UL 498, the NAC3F-TRUE1-S meets the most rigorous international safety standards for mains connectors. The UV-resistant, UL 94 V-0 rated polyamide housing withstands prolonged outdoor exposure without degradation, while the unique NEUTRIK locking bushing requires a special tool to open — a deliberate design feature that prevents accidental disassembly in the field and meets IEC tamper-resistance requirements.
Key Features of the Neutrik powerCON TRUE1 Female Connector
- Breaking Capacity (CBC): Enables safe connection and disconnection under load or live, eliminating the need to de-energize circuits before plugging or unplugging — a critical safety advantage in professional live sound and touring environments.
- IP65/IP67 Protection: Delivers full dust-tight and water-resistant sealing when mated or capped, making this locking mains connector suitable for outdoor stages, wet venues, and demanding field installations.
- ENEC, VDE, UL, and CSA Certified: Fully certified to IEC 60320-1, EN IEC 60320-1, UL 60320-1, CSA C22.2 No. 60320-1, and UL 498 for trusted compliance across international markets.
- Twist-Lock Security System: Provides a positive, vibration-resistant lock that prevents accidental disconnection under mechanical stress — essential for touring rigs and live event power distribution.
- UV-Resistant, Flame-Retardant Housing: High-impact polyamide (PA 66) shell carries a UL 94 V-0 flammability rating and F1 UV resistance, preserving structural integrity in direct sunlight and high-temperature environments.
- Extended Service Life: Rated for more than 5,000 mating cycles, delivering long-term reliability in high-cycle rental, touring, and install applications.
- NEUTRIK Locking Bushing with Strain Relief: Accommodates cable diameters from 0.23" to 0.47" (6–12 mm) with a tool-required bushing that prevents accidental disassembly — meeting IEC standards for tamper resistance in cord sets.
