Molex/FCT DA D-Sub Backshell, Zinc Body, 180° Straight

The Molex/FCT DA D-Sub Backshell (172704 series) is a robust and essential component for professional cable management. Constructed from durable zinc, this 180-degree straight-exit backshell is designed to protect and provide strain relief for DA-size D-sub connector terminations. Its primary function is to safeguard the sensitive connection points from physical stress, bending, and accidental pulls, thereby extending the lifespan of your cables and ensuring reliable data transmission.

A key feature of this backshell is its integrated EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding. This provides a professional finish by containing electrical noise and preventing signal degradation, which is crucial in environments with sensitive electronic equipment or where data integrity is paramount. The sturdy zinc body offers excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, making it suitable for both industrial and commercial applications.

Installation is straightforward, allowing for a neat and secure termination that enhances the overall durability and appearance of your cable assemblies. The 180-degree exit design helps in organising cable routing, reducing clutter, and preventing sharp bends that could damage internal wires. This backshell is an industry-standard solution for completing D-sub connections, offering a perfect blend of protection, performance, and professional aesthetics.
