Jackscrew Socket for D-Sub Connectors
The Molex 1731120380 is a jackscrew socket from the F-GSCH, FCT series, designed as a hardware accessory for standard D-sub connectors. It includes both the 4-40 socket and the mating 4-40 screw, so you don't need to source them separately. The threaded portion below the head measures 0.236" (6.00 mm), which is the standard reach for securing a D-sub plug to a receptacle through a panel or backshell.
Thread and Fit
The 4-40 thread size is the industry standard for D-sub hardware — the same thread used on the mating jackscrew posts of most D-sub connectors. The 0.236" length below the head matches the typical flange thickness of a standard D-sub backshell or panel-mount receptacle. If you're replacing a missing or stripped jackscrew on a D-sub assembly, this part drops in without modification.
