The Pan Pacific Dust Covers for Centronics category narrows the Metal Hood and Hardware family to a specific legacy computer and serial connectivity format, helping match the mechanical interface before choosing a part number. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include DST-5714P (DST-5714P Centronic 14 Male Dust Cover) and DST-5714S (DST-5714S Centronic 14 Female Dust Cover).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator. Those attributes determine mating compatibility and whether the part is appropriate for the intended equipment or cabling system.
The catalog path is Pan Pacific > Connectors & Components > Metal Hood and Hardware > Dust Covers for Centronics. Keeping the manufacturer family, parent interface and exact subcategory together is useful for distinguishing parts that share a similar appearance but use different termination, wiring, impedance, contact or mounting details.
Start with the existing Pan Pacific part number when replacing a component. If it is unavailable, document the mating equipment and the key attributes for dust covers for centronics: connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator.
Wallco currently has 6 active Pan Pacific products assigned to this category in the latest catalog export. The category is intended to narrow the choice; final compatibility should be confirmed at the individual part level.
Do not assume that two products in the dust covers for centronics family are interchangeable solely because they share a connector family. Pinout, impedance, shielding, termination, shell size, wiring standard or signal direction may differ depending on the interface.
Compare connector size/contact count, gender, pinout or wiring function, cable length, hood/mounting style and whether the device is straight-through, crossover, null-modem or terminator.
Match the complete Pan Pacific part number first. If cross-referencing, compare the mating interface, mechanical format, termination/wiring and electrical or signal requirements before substituting another model.
