The Pan Pacific Metal Hood and Hardware category covers connector backshell and hardware within the manufacturer's electronic connectors, terminations, PCB interfaces and connector hardware catalog. Examples currently represented in Wallco's Pan Pacific catalog include DM-15C/GR (DM-15C/GR Metal Die Cast Hood For Db15P W/Grommnet) and DM-15CR/GR (DM-15CR/GR Rt Agl Metal Hood For Db15 W/ Grommet).
For this Pan Pacific category, verify connector shell size, hood material, cable exit/strain relief, screw or latch hardware and compatibility with the mating connector/cable diameter. 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. 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 metal hood and hardware: connector shell size, hood material, cable exit/strain relief, screw or latch hardware and compatibility with the mating connector/cable diameter.
Wallco currently has 35 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 metal hood and hardware 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 shell size, hood material, cable exit/strain relief, screw or latch hardware and compatibility with the mating connector/cable diameter.
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.
