DX-80-CV: 80-Position Shielded Backshell for Hirose DX Connectors

The Hirose DX-80-CV is a two-piece backshell and cover for 80-position Hirose DX series connectors. It terminates the cable-end shield with a full metal shell and provides a 180° cable exit.

What the 180° Cable Exit and Latch Lock Mean for the Build

The 180° cable exit routes the round cable straight out the rear of the connector. The latch lock is a positive mechanical catch on the backshell-to-connector interface.

Shielded Metal Shell Construction

The shell is metal — zinc alloy die-cast — with a silver-plated finish. The cover is a plastic (resin) piece that snaps over the cable entry to complete the enclosure. Silver plating on the shell gives a low-resistance ground path from the cable braid through the backshell to the connector's shield fingers. For a signal cable carrying high-frequency data or sensitive analog, that full metal envelope is what keeps common-mode noise off the line.

Frequently asked questions

What is the cable exit angle for the DX-80-CV?

The DX-80-CV has a 180° cable exit — the cable routes straight out the rear of the backshell, in line with the connector axis.

Is DX-80-CV compatible with DX-80 series connectors?

Yes, the DX-80-CV is a two-piece backshell and cover designed specifically for 80-position Hirose DX series connectors. It mates with the DX-80 plug or receptacle and provides the latch lock and shield termination for the cable end.

Does the DX-80-CV include the latch lock hardware?

Yes, the latch lock is an integral feature of the backshell — it is not a separate hardware item. The latch mechanism is built into the metal shell and engages with the mating connector for positive retention.
