Pin Hoods are used to protect pin contacts that protrude from a connector housing.

When contacts are mixed (pins and sockets in both housings), an Internal Pin Hood is used on one housing and an External Pin Hood is used on the other housing. Or a Long Shield is used on one housing and an External Pin Hood must be used on the other housing. When a housing is loaded with all pin contacts, an Internal or External Pin Hood may be used—no Pin Hood is required on the mating half.

External Open-End Pin Hoods with flanges are used primarily for mounting a connector with pin contacts to a panel.

All Pin Hoods may be secured to connector housings using other appropriate hardware, such as Jackscrews and Guide Pins and Sockets.
