DB 25 M WITH HOOD (METAL)

Description

The DB25 Male with Metal Hood is a heavy-duty connectivity solution designed for professional cable fabrication and demanding industrial environments. It consists of a Standard-Density DB25 Plug (Male), featuring two rows of precision pins (13 pins and 12 pins), and a Die-Cast Metal Backshell (Hood). The connector utilizes solder-cup terminations, providing a high-integrity electrical bond for discrete wires or multi-conductor shielded cables.

This assembly is critical for applications requiring maximum signal protection, such as RS-232 serial communication, CNC machinery, and professional audio interfaces (Tascam/AES standard). The metal hood provides 360-degree shielding against EMI/RFI interference, ensuring data integrity in electrically noisy environments. The rugged die-cast construction also offers superior mechanical protection and effective strain relief, preventing wire fatigue in high-vibration or heavy-use settings.

Key Technical Advantages

• Superior EMI/RFI Shielding: The zinc die-cast metal backshell provides an essential Faraday cage around the soldered connections, minimizing signal interference.

• Extreme Mechanical Durability: The rugged metal housing protects internal connections from crushing, impact, and harsh industrial handling.

• Enhanced Strain Relief: Includes a robust internal metal cable clamp that secures the cable jacket, transferring mechanical stress away from the solder joints.

• High-Integrity Signal Path: Gold-flashed or gold-plated pins ensure consistent electrical contact and exceptional resistance to oxidation over time.

• Industrial Grade Design: Specifically built for permanent installations and field environments where plastic hoods may fail due to heat or mechanical stress.

Key Features

• DB25 Male Interface: Two-row, 25-pin D-Sub configuration with precision-machined male pins.

• Die-Cast Zinc Metal Hood: Finished with a professional chrome or nickel plating for corrosion resistance and durability.

• Solder Cup Terminals: Designed for high-reliability manual soldering of various wire gauges.

• Threaded Jackscrews: Comes with a complete set of hardware to ensure the connector remains securely locked to the mating female port.

• Standard-Density Compatibility: Fully compatible with all standard 25-pin D-Sub ports and interfaces.
