Description
Pan Pacific DP-37C Plastic 37-Pin D-Sub Hood with Metal Clamp
The Pan Pacific DP-37C is a rugged yet economical back-shell that protects DB-37 solder- or IDC-type connectors in control panels, CNC machines, test fixtures, and legacy serial-bus installations. Its one-piece ABS housing snaps together quickly, while a full-width metal clamp strain-relief secures the cable and maintains proper shielding integrity. Tri-Tek Electronics—an authorized Pan Pacific distributor in Mesa, AZ—stocks this hood locally, ensuring full manufacturer warranty coverage, best Valley pricing, and responsive support for installers across Phoenix and the state.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Fits any standard 37-pin D-Sub plug or jack (DB-37 size “C”) for quick, reliable cable termination
-
Plastic hood with integrated metal strain-relief: molded ABS shell provides electrical insulation, while the steel clamp grips the jacket to prevent conductor fatigue
-
Includes jack-screws, hex nuts, and assembly hardware—everything required to mate to panel or mating connector immediately
-
Industrial gray color enables easy pin-count identification and a clean, professional appearance in equipment racks
-
RoHS-compliant and UL-recognized materials support commercial and OEM requirements
-
Low-profile design allows tight side-by-side mounting on high-density I/O cards or patch panels
Example Installation Scenario
A Phoenix-area automation integrator is refurbishing a CNC controller that uses multiple DB-37 ribbon cables. By swapping worn metal hoods with DP-37C plastic models, the technician lowers weight inside the wireway, adds a more secure clamp on the new PVC jacket, and finishes the retrofit without modifying the original panel cut-out—saving both time and rework cost.
Value for Installers, Hobbyists, and Technicians
-
Control-panel builders appreciate the complete hardware kit that speeds assembly and eliminates last-minute parts runs
-
Electronics hobbyists get clean strain relief for DIY breakout boxes or bench test harnesses
-
Field service techs can carry a handful of lightweight hoods to replace damaged metal shells during on-site repairs
