D-Sub Backshell for 9-Position Connectors
The Molex 1731110327 is a two-piece plastic backshell from the FKC, FCT 173111 series, designed to fit standard D-sub connectors with 9 positions. It provides cable exit at 180° (straight out the back) and includes the hardware needed to complete a cable assembly: mating screws with 4-40 thread, a cable clamp, and integrated strain relief. The shell is molded from black ABS and is unshielded, making it a cost-effective choice for indoor equipment where EMI protection is handled elsewhere in the system.
What Ships in the Box
This is a complete backshell kit — the two-piece plastic shell, the 4-40 mating screws, the cable clamp, and the strain-relief elements are all included. No separate hardware order needed to finish a D-sub cable assembly.
The 1731110327 is compatible with standard D-sub connectors in shell size E, which covers both 9-position and HD-15 position connectors. The 4-40 mating screws are the standard thread for D-sub jackscrews, so this backshell mates with any standard D-sub hood or panel-mount receptacle that uses that thread. The two-piece design allows the backshell to be installed after the D-sub connector is wired and terminated, which is useful for rework or field assembly.
