Dust Covers for all Metal Shell and All-Plastic Miniature Ribbon Connectors

Dust covers may be added to Miniature Ribbon or SUPERIBBON assemblies to protect the mating area from damage or contamination when the connector is left unmated. They can be useful for protection from handling damage during assembly, or can be left on the connector for protection of unused system I/O ports.

Compliant-pin Miniature Ribbon products come with special seating fixtures that must be used to install the connectors onto the printed circuit board. These may be replaced after insertion; however, with standard dust covers to maintain the standard color code, if so desired. Material: UL94V-0 rated polyethelene (blue for plug covers; red for socket covers)

Wire Restraints for Panel-Mount SUPERIBBON All-Plastic Connectors

Wire restraints provide added security to terminated wires, preventing radial pullout. They are intended for use on panel mounted connectors where hoods are not required (wire restraints cannot be applied simultaneously with hoods), and snap on after connector termination.

Material: Gray UL94V-0 rated polyester.

Hoods for SUPERIBBON Connectors

180° (Top-Entry) Hoods can be used with panel-mount All-Plastic SUPERIBBON connectors to provide strain relief and protection of the wire terminations. The two-piece snap-on assembly has adjustable tabs that allow effective strain relief on a wide range of cable sizes.

90° 270° (End-Entry) Hoods are for replacement on End-Entry SUPERIBBON connectors. They are available for all sizes, as well as for the pointed-nose 50 position size. Note: End-Entry Hoods cannot be added to panel-mount connectors because the finished assembly would not have the end-entry cable grip.

Material: Gray UL94V-0 rated polyester.

Material: Stainless Steel

Ordering Information: Part Number 57-BL-90
