Default Best XLRs ?

I know we're not talking about Neutrik XLRs here, but I've, on occasion,
over-tightened the "collet chuck" when trying to clamp a smaller
diameter cable than they're apparently designed for, broken the plastic,
and then the connector becomes useless. I never remember to ask if they
sell replacements for that part. I should. I save the pieces, but
usually that's the only part that breaks.


I remembered this discussion and stopped by the Neutrik booth at the Infocomm show this afternoon, asking if it was possible to buy the plastic clamp parts individually. They told me that some parts were available and that they only distribute them through Mouser Electronics.

I made an attempt to look them up on mouser.com but there were too many things to sort out. But if you need them, it's probably worth a phone call and let them dig the parts out of the 694 listings for Neutrik XLR.
