MHD45ZK25-K – MH CONNECTORS

The MHD45ZK25-K, manufactured by MH CONNECTORS, is a 25-position D-subminiature connector hood constructed from die-cast metal, providing robust EMI/RFI shielding. This hood is designed for side cable entry, facilitating connections in space-constrained applications. The die-cast construction ensures mechanical durability and effective grounding of the connected cable shield. The ‘ZK’ designation likely refers to a specific plating or finish applied to the die-cast housing, potentially zinc plating with a chromate conversion coating for corrosion resistance and enhanced conductivity. Internal features may include grounding indents or serrations to improve electrical contact with the mating connector shell and cable shield. Fastening hardware, such as screws or threaded inserts, are integrated into the hood design for secure attachment to the D-sub connector and strain relief mechanism for cable retention.
