DB 15 F WITH HOOD (PLASTIC)

Description

The DB15 Female with Plastic Hood is a comprehensive connectivity solution designed for custom cable assembly and field repairs. It consists of a Standard-Density DB15 Jack (Female) featuring two rows of sockets (8 pins and 7 pins) and a Plastic Backshell (Hood). The connector utilizes solder-cup terminations, allowing for secure, permanent wire attachment for a wide range of wire gauges.

This assembly is indispensable for technicians and engineers working with legacy VGA (two-row), joystick/MIDI ports, or industrial RS-232/RS-422 serial interfaces. The included plastic hood serves as a protective enclosure for the soldered connections, featuring integrated strain relief to prevent wire fatigue and a hardware set (screws and nuts) to lock the connector into its mating port. Constructed with high-quality thermoplastic and gold-flashed contacts, it provides a cost-effective and dependable link for low-to-medium speed data transmission in commercial and industrial environments.

Key Technical Advantages

• Complete Termination Kit: Provides both the high-retention female insert and the protective housing in a single package for immediate assembly.

• Effective Strain Relief: The plastic hood features an internal cable clamp that secures the cable jacket, protecting delicate solder joints from tension and vibration.

• Lightweight Durability: The high-impact plastic backshell provides essential protection against dust and mechanical impact without adding significant weight to the cable assembly.

• Easy Field Assembly: Solder-cup contacts and a two-piece snap-together or screw-together hood design allow for straightforward installation without specialized crimp tools.

• Reliable Conductivity: Gold-flashed or gold-plated sockets ensure consistent electrical contact and resist oxidation over the life of the connection.

Key Features

• DB15 Female Interface: Two-row, 15-pin D-Sub configuration with precision-formed female sockets.

• High-Impact Plastic Hood: Lightweight thermoplastic construction with a slim profile suitable for high-density panel environments.

• Solder Cup Terminals: Designed for easy hand-soldering of discrete wires or multi-conductor shielded cables.

• Integrated Hardware Set: Includes jackscrews or mounting screws for securing the connector to mating DB15 ports.

• Versatile Application: Compatible with a wide variety of serial, parallel, and analog signaling standards.
