DB9 Plastic & Metal Hood (Backshell Cover) | Pro Tronix

Product Description

The DB9 Hood (Backshell Cover) is a protective and strain-relief housing designed for standard D-Sub 9-pin connectors used in serial communication cables, industrial automation lines, and custom wiring harnesses. Engineered to enclose soldered DB9 male or female connectors, this backshell protects exposed solder joints from dust, mechanical stress, and EMI/RFI interference.

Available in durable molded plastic or heavy-duty die-cast metal, each hood includes integrated cable clamps to secure the wire bundle and prevent tension on the solder cups, ensuring long-term reliability for your serial cables.

⚠️ Assembly Tip: Remember to slide the backshell housing and its cable clamp onto your cable before soldering the individual wires to the DB9 connector pins. Secure the cable clamp firmly to prevent wire fatigue from pulling on the solder joints.

Technical & Architectural Highlights

• Standard DB9 Size Compatibility: Precision-molded shell fits standard 9-pin D-Sub solder connectors perfectly.

• Integrated Cable Strain Relief: Built-in cable clamp secures the outer jacket to prevent pull-tension on solder cups.

• Durable Enclosure Options: Protects delicate solder points against short circuits, dust, and mechanical impacts.
