The Molex 1731070159 is a D-Sub combo plug housing from the FM, FCT 173107 series. It accepts 5 coax or power contacts in a single-row layout, using the standard 3 (DB, B) - 5W5 shell size. The green polyester glass-filled shell is free-hanging (in-line) and includes grounding indents on the steel tin-plated shell for shield continuity.
Contacts Are Not Included — Plan Your BOM

The 1731070159 mates with a D-Sub combo receptacle housing of the same shell size (3 (DB, B) - 5W5) and contact arrangement. The unthreaded flange means the mating pair relies on the jack-screws or slide-lock hardware from the receptacle side for retention — confirm the receptacle includes the locking hardware if vibration is a concern. Termination is crimp-style via the separately ordered contacts; the free-hanging design allows the harness to be routed without a PCB mount.
