Hooded Strain Reliefs
Hooded strain reliefs are used whenever a connector
is used on a cable assembly which will be exposed
to users and subject to multiple disconnects. Hoods
are designed to protect users from shock hazard by
exposed solder joints, as well as provide a strain relief
for the wires and protection against accidental short
circuits.
Since most filter connectors are larger than
standard connectors, there had been a problem fitting
most commercially available hoods. Spectrum Control
solves this problem. Our hoods are molded of thin wall
plastic, providing extra internal space to accommodate
larger filter connectors. The hood is constructed of
extremely durable polycarbonate and meets the
flammability requirements for UL94V-0.
In addition, hoods are ideal for use on applications
which require the use of extra components such as
resistors or varistors on the wires. The nonconductive
hood conveniently houses the connector, components,
and protects any joints.
I

is supplied with metal retention
clips to hold the connector within the hood
assembly. This item is recommended for use

D-subs, and most standard D-subs.
