MOLEX / FCT 172704 Series D-Sub DE Backshell, Zinc, 180°

The MOLEX / FCT 172704 Series D-Sub DE Backshell is engineered to provide robust protection and reliable performance for critical cable connections. This essential component is designed for D-sub cable terminations, featuring a durable zinc body that ensures lasting structural integrity and resistance to wear in demanding environments.

Its primary function is to shield and strain-relieve cable assemblies, safeguarding the connection from physical stress and environmental factors. Crucially, the backshell provides effective EMI shielding, helping to protect the signal integrity of your data or control lines from electromagnetic interference. This is vital for maintaining consistent performance in industrial, telecommunications, or computing applications where signal clarity is paramount.

The design incorporates a 180-degree straight exit for the cable, which offers a neat and direct routing path. This helps in organising cable runs, reduces strain at the connection point, and contributes to a more professional and reliable installation. The compact yet sturdy construction makes it suitable for a wide range of D-sub connector applications where space and performance are key considerations.

Easy to install, this backshell is a fundamental accessory for completing and protecting your D-sub connector assemblies, ensuring they meet both mechanical and electrical protection standards.
