DB 9 M WITH HOOD (METAL)

Description

The DB9 Male with Metal Hood is a heavy-duty connectivity solution designed for professional cable fabrication where signal integrity and hardware longevity are paramount. It consists of a Standard-Density DB9 Plug (Male), featuring two rows of precision-machined pins (5 pins and 4 pins), and a Die-Cast Metal Backshell (Hood). The connector utilizes solder-cup terminations, providing a high-integrity electrical bond for discrete wires or shielded multi-conductor cables.

This assembly is the gold standard for RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 serial links in environments with high electrical noise, such as factory floors, server rooms, and medical facilities. Unlike plastic alternatives, the zinc die-cast metal hood provides full 360-degree shielding, effectively creating a Faraday cage to protect data transmission from EMI/RFI interference. The rugged construction and robust strain relief system ensure the connection remains secure in high-vibration applications or where cables are frequently handled.

Key Technical Advantages

• Superior EMI/RFI Shielding: The metal housing provides a low-impedance path to ground, significantly reducing signal interference in noisy industrial environments.

• Extreme Mechanical Durability: The rugged die-cast zinc construction offers maximum resistance to impact, crushing, and harsh handling.

• Enhanced Strain Relief: Includes a heavy-duty internal cable clamp that secures the cable jacket, transferring mechanical stress away from the delicate 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 Reliability: Specifically engineered for permanent installations and field environments where mechanical failure is not an option.

Key Features

• DB9 Male Interface: Two-row, 9-pin D-Sub configuration with precision-aligned male pins.

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

• Solder Cup Terminals: Designed for high-reliability manual soldering across various wire gauges (typically 20-28 AWG).

• Complete Hardware Kit: Includes long jackscrews, nuts, and internal metal clamps for a secure, locked connection to mating DB9 female ports.

• Standard Compatibility: Fully compatible with all industrial serial ports, PLC interfaces, and legacy COM hardware.
