Product details
Molex's 1731140156 represents a breakthrough in D-Sub, D-Shaped Connectors - Backshells, Hoods technology for subsea oil and gas applications. This pressure-balanced backshell system maintains reliable connectivity at extreme ocean depths while resisting corrosive seawater exposure.As a Two Piece Backshell, this component provides hydrostatic pressure compensation up to 10,000 psi while preventing hydrogen embrittlement in high-pressure hydrogen sulfide environments.Featuring 15 positions, the design supports multiplexed sensor arrays used in subsea production control systems while preventing seawater ingress.Engineered for Round underwater cables, the pressure-resistant termination maintains stable impedance characteristics despite extreme depth variations.The 180° configuration allows for smooth transitions from rigid pressure housings to flexible umbilical cables without creating stress concentration points.With Shielded construction, the backshell prevents interference from ROV thrusters and other high-current subsea equipment while meeting API 17F requirements.The Metal formulation meets ASTM F1387 requirements for offshore drilling equipment components exposed to sour service conditions.Constructed from Zinc Die Cast, the housing withstands 20-year service life in seawater with cathodic protection systems per NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 standards.The Nickel surface treatment prevents marine growth attachment while maintaining electrical performance at temperatures down to 2 C.Including Assembly Hardware, Cable Clamp, Strain Relief, the assembly maintains mechanical stability under strong ocean currents and vortex-induced vibrations.The Mating Screws implementation allows for ROV-operated connection/disconnection while maintaining IP68 sealing integrity at 10,000-meter depths.The Silver finish provides high visibility in low-light subsea environments while resisting biofouling accumulation.
