Hi all,
Just found out something interesting.
Atleast with the neutrick brand of XLR connectors the shell which I thought was cast AL is a Zinc alloy called ZAMAK 5 95% zinc 4% AL and 1% copper.
I was just going to flog it of as cast AL but seeing as it is mostly Zinc and is considered a pot metal (~380C melting poitn) could be good for making cast parts.
Cheers
