Housing Shell ShiverPeaks 79115-M 15-pin metallized

The ShiverPeaks 79115-M housing shell is a metallized 15-pin enclosure component designed to protect and support electronic connector assemblies. It provides a rigid external shell with a 15-pin interface layout suitable for mounting into equipment panels or enclosures. The metallized finish enhances electromagnetic shielding and improves grounding when integrated with compatible connectors, making it appropriate for industrial and consumer electronic applications.

Advantages

The metallized surface offers improved EMI/RFI attenuation compared with non-metallized shells, helping to reduce interference in sensitive circuits. The 15-pin configuration matches standard multi-pin connector patterns, enabling straightforward integration with matching connectors and cabling. The shell delivers mechanical protection and strain relief for mounted connector contacts while contributing to a durable enclosure solution that resists deformation under normal installation and handling.

Suitable for

• Panel-mounted connector assemblies in industrial control equipment
• Shielding and mechanical support for consumer electronics modules
• Replacement or upgrade of existing 15-pin connector housings
• Applications requiring basic EMI/RFI protection and grounding

Key specifications

• Pin count: 15-pin interface
• Finish: metallized coating for improved conductivity and shielding
• Function: enclosure shell for connector mounting and mechanical protection
• Compatibility: designed for standard 15-pin connector form-factors
• Typical use environments: industrial and consumer electronic assemblies

How to use

Install the housing shell by aligning the 15-pin opening with the mating connector and secure it to the panel or chassis using the appropriate mounting hardware. Ensure proper seating of the mating connector within the shell so that pins align cleanly and contact forces are not obstructed. Where grounding or shielding is required, verify that the metallized surfaces make reliable contact with chassis ground or mating connector shell to achieve the intended EMI/RFI attenuation.

Recommendations

When installing, avoid applying excessive mechanical force to the shell that could deform the metallized coating or misalign pins. Use compatible screws or fasteners and, if needed, conductive washers to improve electrical continuity between the shell and system ground. Verify connector alignment and continuity after assembly to ensure reliable signal and shielding performance.
