Backshell for 25-Position and HD44 D-Sub Shells
The Molex 1731110238 is a two-piece backshell designed for D-subminiature connectors using shell size B — compatible with standard 25-position D-subs and HD44 high-density shells. The silver nickel-plated finish provides corrosion resistance and a continuous shield path when mated, while the 90° cable exit routes the round cable parallel to the connector axis for tight enclosure layouts. Assembly hardware is included: mating screws secure the backshell to the D-sub connector, a cable clamp grips the round cable jacket, and the strain relief prevents conductor fatigue at the termination point. The ABS plastic body keeps the assembly light — suitable for panels where weight matters.
Shielded Construction and Included Hardware
This backshell is shielded — the nickel-plated shell contacts the D-sub connector's metal shell to bleed EMI before it reaches the internal wiring. The 90° cable exit allows the cable to run flush against the panel, reducing bend radius stress in shallow enclosures. The included mating screws fasten the backshell halves together and to the connector. The cable clamp and strain relief accommodate round cable.
