D-Sub, or D-shaped connectors are a type of electrical hardware that is primarily used for connecting several components together. The most common applications of D-Sub connectors are in the communications, computer & control market, as well as in signal, power, data, or ground connections.

A D-Sub Backshell is the protective cover that is attached at the rear of a D-Sub connector. It helps to protect the connection from electromagnetic interference (EMI) and environmental contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture. This also helps to reduce stress on the connections, ensuring that they maintain their integrity under pressure. Backshells are rated with different degrees of protection, ranging from avionic-grade, all the way down to consumer-grade.

The purpose of a D-Sub hood is to protect the contact pins from environmental contaminants such as dirt, dust, and moisture, while also providing a degree of strain relief. Hoods are an important part of a wiring harness, because they play an essential role in protecting the wiring from damage or wear. They are available in a variety of sizes, and can be used to ensure that the wiring remains intact in extremely harsh environments, such as in automotive or military applications.

The combination of D-Sub backshells and hoods provide an excellent degree of protection from environmental contaminants and signal integrity, making them ideal for use in high-quality, mission-critical applications. The 982-015-020-121 is one such example of a D-Sub connector that utilizes both backshells and hoods to provide a reliable connection in any situation.

The 982-015-020-121 is a D-Sub connector with a 15-pin, female, rear mount version. It features an EMI Backshell made from stainless steel, providing excellent durability, and a hood with bayonet locking for reliable connections in tight spaces. The inner connection is protected from EMI, dust, and dirt by the tightly sealed hood. The EMI Backshell features a plenum-rated flame retardant (UL 94V-2) insulation and EMI shielding gasket that helps protect against EMI leaks from the wiring connection.

This combination of EMI Backshell and hood, along with the connector\'s 15-pin, female, rear mount and UL94V-2 rated insulation, make the 982-015-020-121 an ideal solution for critical applications in harsh environments. This D-Sub connector will remain reliable and secure in the most challenging of working conditions, ensuring a stable connection when and where it is needed most.
