1727040098 – MOLEX

The Molex 1727040098 is a shielded backshell designed for use with a 15-position D-subminiature (D-sub) connector. Constructed of a conductive material, the backshell provides 360-degree EMI/RFI shielding when properly grounded, mitigating electromagnetic interference and ensuring signal integrity in sensitive applications. Its 180-degree cable exit orientation facilitates straight cable routing, minimizing stress on the connector and cable assembly. The backshell is designed to accommodate a range of cable diameters, typically secured via screws or crimp features, providing strain relief and preventing cable pull-out. It is commonly used in industrial, telecommunications, and data communication equipment where robust shielding and reliable cable termination are critical. The specific materials and plating used are typically specified in the associated connector datasheet to ensure galvanic compatibility and optimal shielding performance.
