Description
The DB9 Female with Plastic Hood is a versatile connectivity solution designed for custom cable fabrication and onsite maintenance. It consists of a Standard-Density DB9 Jack (Female), featuring two rows of high-retention sockets (5 pins and 4 pins), and a Plastic Backshell (Hood). The connector utilizes solder-cup terminations, providing a secure and permanent electrical bond for discrete wires or multi-conductor shielded cables.
This assembly is the industry standard for technicians and engineers building RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial cables. The included plastic hood acts as a protective enclosure for the soldered internal connections, featuring an integrated cable clamp that prevents mechanical stress from reaching the solder joints. Constructed with high-quality thermoplastic and gold-flashed contacts, it offers a cost-effective and dependable link for digital signaling in commercial, office, and light industrial environments.
