Hello Tom,
The fifth option (24, Drilling: M3x9.5, y:12) in our XLR-Connector drop down menu might work. You will have to mirror the two threaded holes and change them to M3 countersink holes if you need them in the upper right and lower left positions. You might want to check the tech sheet for the Neutrik connector to confirm.
Please don't hesitate to contact our customer service in case you need further assistance.
Kind regards,

ReplyHello,
Do you have a .fpd for this please?
Thank you a lot. Best regards,

ReplyHi Mathieu,
You will have to download our free designer software from our website and insert the connector cutout from the macro objects shown in the screenshots. We do not have a .fpd file since it's built into the software.

Tapped holes
I have ordered presently and in the past several panels with tapped holes in the 6-32, 8-32, and 10-32 range. I have noticed that I have consistently had to run my own tap through the holes to get the screws to go in without extra force. I specify the hole as the instructions say by selecting the screw size. Am I missing something? I have used both stainless steel and aluminum hardware.

Hi Robert.
If you would like increase the diameter opening of the thread so it isn't as tight click on the 'manual thread parameters' in the bottom of the properties window and increase the diameter by .1mm or .004"
This should give you enough tolerance so you can insert your screws.Posted By: Adrian on Aug 09, 2016 08:43PM
ReplyWell, my argument to that solution is
1) Why does the program not select the proper drill size?
2) Why would the tap used not clean out the and the re-tap I used did?Posted By: Robert on Aug 09, 2016 09:06PM
ReplyWe use routers with threaded end mills so the tolerances are on the low end to prevent screw loosening over time and this doesn't seem to be a problem with the majority of our customers. We do not hand thread these and we use a plug thread go/no-go gauge to double check the threads as well. If you need more clarification let us know.
