FCT 173111 Series, D-Sub, D-Shaped Connector Backshells, Hoods

The products in this family are specifically designed for the construction or repair of D-subminiature (D-Sub) cables. D-Sub cables derive their name from the distinctive D-shaped shroud that surrounds the mating region, and they were initially introduced due to their relatively high interconnect density. These products play a crucial role in enclosing the junction between the conductors within a cable and the contacts in the connector assembly. By providing a secure enclosure, they ensure the integrity of the connection and protect against potential damage or interference. One important function offered by these products is cable strain relief. They are designed to alleviate stress on the cables connected to the assembly, reducing the risk of cable damage or breakage. This strain relief capability helps maintain the longevity and durability of the cable assembly. Additionally, these products provide facilities for mechanical fixation. They offer mechanisms to securely attach the cable to the connector assembly, ensuring a stable connection. This helps prevent accidental disconnection and minimizes the risk of signal loss or interruptions. By incorporating these products into D-Sub cable assemblies, users can enhance the overall performance and reliability of their connections. The enclosures provided by these products protect the delicate junction between the conductors and contacts, ensuring optimal signal transmission and minimizing the risk of data loss or electrical interference. In summary, the products in this family are essential for constructing or repairing D-Sub cables. They enclose the junction between the conductors and contacts, providing cable strain relief and facilities for mechanical fixation. These features contribute to the overall stability, durability, and reliability of the D-Sub cable assembly.
