What This Hood Covers
The Hirose DX-50-CV is a two-piece backshell and cover — the metal hood that dresses the cable end of a 50-position DX-series connector. It is not a plug or receptacle; it fits over the cable exit of the mating connector half, clamping the round cable and providing strain relief through the latch lock. The shell is shielded, the plating is silver, and the cable exit is straight (180°).
The DX-50-CV is the shielded backshell for the 50-position member of the DX series. The base product number is DX-50, so this hood mates with any DX-series plug or receptacle that carries 50 contacts and uses the same shell profile. The latch lock is standard across the series — it clicks into the mating half and holds the cable end secure against vibration. If you are building a 50-pin cable assembly with a DX connector on one end, this is the hood you pair with the plug.
The shell is metal — the primary material is metal, with a zinc/plastic cover assembly. The plating is silver, which gives good conductivity for the shielding path and resists corrosion in indoor industrial environments. The latch lock is integral to the cover, so there is no separate hardware to lose. The package is tray, which is standard for backshells of this size.
