D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Backshells, Hoods

D-sub connectors are connectors whose housings are shaped in the form of letter "D", hence the name "D-sub". Examples of such connectors include D-subminiature (or simply D-sub), high-density D-subminiature (HD D-Sub) and so on. The most frequently seen type of the D-sub is the D-subminiature connector, also referred to as D-sub. D-sub connectors are used for electrical and telecom applications.

A backshell is a metal or plastic shell that encapsulates the rear of a metal alloy or plastic connector. Backshells protect the connector module’s cable contacts and provide strain relief support, and they also help to reduce electrical interference and keep the cable away from environmental pollutants. Backshells are available in different sizes and shapes and may offer a variety of features such as terminal block connections, RJ45 port extensions, and rubber O-rings for sealing.

The hood, referred to as a cable mount or connector hood, is a device for covering the back of a connector. Connector hoods are an important part of many electrical systems as they protect the cable and connector from damage and moisture. They are usually constructed of plastic and offer strain relief, EMI/RFI shielding, and other cable routing features. Hoods typically include a connection for attaching a lanyard that allows for easy removal of the connector from wall outlets, and other forms of attachment to provide a level of protection from environmental elements and interference.
