Molex FCT 172704 Combo D-Sub Housing — 2 Coax/Power Positions, Panel Mount
The Molex 1727040042 is a D-Sub combo receptacle housing from the FCT 172704 series, designed to accept coax or power contacts in a 2-position, single-row layout. This is the shell-only component — contacts are ordered separately. It mounts to a panel via unthreaded flange holes, making it a straightforward chassis-mount interconnect for applications needing mixed coax and power in a single D-Sub footprint.
Shell Layout and Mating
The shell size and connector layout are 1 (DE, E) - 2V2, 2W2C, which defines the footprint and pin arrangement for the combo D-Sub format. The unthreaded flange means the panel-mount screws or rivets are sourced separately — the housing does not include jack-screw hardware.
What to Order Alongside
The 2-position count and single-row arrangement make this a compact solution for a single coax line plus a power contact, or two power contacts, in a standard DE-size shell. The black PBT housing provides visual identification and the steel shell offers basic EMI shielding for the mated assembly.
There is no documented obsolescence or last-time-buy notice on record.
