Product details

Standard DE-9 Receptacle for Serial and Signal Interconnects

The Molex 1727040163 is a 9-position D-Sub receptacle from the FCT 172704 series, using the standard DE-9 shell layout. It accepts 20 AWG wire into solder cups — each wire is hand-soldered into the cup, no crimp tool needed.

Solder Cup Termination and Wire Gauge

Termination is solder cup — each of the 9 positions has a cup that accepts a stripped 20 AWG conductor. The solder cup gives you a field-repairable joint; you tin the wire, fill the cup, and reflow. No special crimp die or insertion tool required. The gold finish on the contacts handles repeated soldering without oxidation.

5 A Rating and Gold Contact Finish

The brass base material carries the current; gold keeps the interface clean.

Frequently asked questions

Is 1727040163 equivalent to a standard D-sub 9 pin female connector?

Yes — this is a standard DE-9 (9-position) D-Sub receptacle with female sockets. It mates with any standard DE-9 male plug. The shell size and pin layout follow the industry-standard DE-9 footprint used for RS-232 serial ports and other signal interfaces.

What wire gauge is compatible with 1727040163?

The listed compatible wire gauge is 20 AWG. The solder cup is sized for that conductor diameter — use a 20 AWG stranded or solid wire for a proper fit in the cup.
