Neutrik powerCON Blue (Power In) Panel Mount Port
Neutrik NAC3MPXXA powerCON Chassis Connector — Power In (Blue)
The Neutrik NAC3MPXXA is a professional-grade panel-mount powerCON XX power inlet built for safe, rock-solid mains power connections in pedalboards, racks, stage boxes, and custom enclosures. This is the Power In (blue) version, keyed specifically to prevent accidental inter-mating with power-out connectors.
Unlike standard IEC inlets, the powerCON system uses a twist-lock latching mechanism that physically locks the connector in place—no accidental unplugging on stage, in a rack drawer, or during transport. It’s one of the best upgrades you can make for any rig that needs reliable AC input.
The NAC3MPXXA features 3/16" flat tab terminals, making it ideal for clean internal wiring using crimp connectors or insulated quick-disconnects. It’s also a connector with breaking capacity (CBC), meaning it can be connected or disconnected under load.
Bonus: it’s compliant with modern safety standards including IEC 62368-1, so it’s a solid choice for professional audio, broadcast, and commercial builds.
