Jacarem can supply D-Sub hoods and backshells, which play an important role in protecting connectors and cables to ensure the overall product is reliable.
Plastic D-sub backshells are the most cost-effective solution. They do not provide any EMI/RFI shielding. They are not as resistant to harsh environments as metalised plastic hoods and die-cast metal backshells. Plastic backshells are often used in less demanding applications where signal interference, vibration and shock are not needing consideration.
Metallised plastic backshells keep costs lower while providing abrasion resistance and shielding. This can often enable the user to design into applications with slightly more demanding operating environments than if they were to just use a plastic d-sub backshell.
Metal backshells are usually the most costly but offer high reliability when being used in harsh environment applications. They are most commonly zinc with nickel plating and provide excellent EMI/RFI shielding. Other materials are aluminium with a nickel finish which is lightweight, steel with a zinc plating or glass-filled polyester for vibration applications.
The company can provide a suitable solution for any application you require including rugged environments
