The Molex 1731110095 is a two-piece metal backshell from the FMD, FCT 173111 series, designed to terminate the cable end of a standard D-sub connector assembly. It accepts round cable and provides strain relief, cable clamping, and 360° shielding continuity through the zinc die-cast shell with nickel plating. The 9-position shell size is compatible with both standard DB-9 and high-density HD-15 D-sub connectors sharing the same E shell size, so it covers two common connector footprints from one backshell part number.
Hardware and Cable Exit
This backshell ships as a complete kit with assembly hardware and a cable clamp included — the mating screws and clamp are part of the package, not a separate line item. The 65° dual cable exit angles the cable at a shallow bend relative to the connector axis, useful when the cable must clear a panel lip or enclosure corner that a straight exit would hit. The two-piece shell clamps around the cable jacket; the nickel-plated zinc body provides the shielded enclosure needed to pass radiated emissions tests in industrial or data-comm environments.
