Neutrik - NP2X-B - 6.35mm Mono Jack Plug (black shell & gold contacts)

Neutrik NP2X-B 6.35mm Mono Jack Plug – Black Shell, Gold Contacts

The Neutrik NP2X-B is a professional 2-pole 6.35mm (¼") mono jack plug featuring a black die-cast metal shell and gold-plated contacts, engineered to deliver exceptional reliability, durability, and signal integrity for professional audio applications. As part of Neutrik's renowned Plug X Series, the NP2X-B builds upon the industry's trusted C Series design with a slimmer profile, improved strain relief, and enhanced mechanical performance.

Designed for musicians, audio engineers, rental companies, installers, and touring professionals, the NP2X-B is ideal for instrument cables, patch leads, speaker cables, snakes, mixing consoles, amplifiers, pedalboards, and professional audio systems.

Its extra-slim 14.5mm shell diameter makes it one of the slimmest A-gauge ¼" jack connectors available, allowing it to fit modern high-density jackfields with 15.88mm jack spacing. The precision-machined one-piece tip contact eliminates rivets found in traditional connectors, reducing the risk of tip failure or snagging inside sockets and providing superior long-term reliability.

Neutrik's proven chuck-type strain relief securely grips cable diameters from 4mm to 7mm, providing exceptional cable retention while protecting solder joints from mechanical stress. Combined with the rugged black KTL-coated zinc die-cast housing and corrosion-resistant gold-plated contacts, the NP2X-B is built to withstand the demands of professional touring, live production, and permanent installations.
