Description
The DB15 Male with Plastic Hood is a comprehensive connectivity solution designed for custom cable fabrication and onsite maintenance. It consists of a Standard-Density DB15 Plug (Male), featuring two rows of precision-machined pins (8 pins and 7 pins), and a Plastic Backshell (Hood). The connector utilizes solder-cup terminations, which provide a secure and permanent electrical bond for discrete wires or multi-conductor shielded cables.
This assembly is essential for technicians and engineers interfacing with industrial PLC equipment, legacy MIDI/game ports, or specialized RS-232 serial communication links. The included plastic hood acts as a protective shield 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 pins, it offers a cost-effective, dependable link for analog and digital signaling in commercial and industrial applications.
