What is the difference between assembled and molded cable assemblies?
The difference between an assembled and molded cable assembly is in the construction of the backshell. An assembled backshell can be plastic (not shielded) or metal (shielded) and can be disassembled by removing hardware. On a molded cable assembly, the backshell is typically molded PVC that cannot be disassembled. D-Subminiature 137 Slimline adapters are used in a variety of applications, as illustrated here. Due to their low profile, they help reduce leverage strain on overstressed interface ports. (F = Female Connector, M = Male Connector) 1 2 3 Slide the contact locator down from the top of the tool.

A. Assembled cable assemblies use hoods made of plastic or metal to protect the wires at the terminated connector. These assembled shells can be shielded or unshielded. Molded hoods are made from PVC which is melted and injected into a mold. Assembled shells can be disassembled by removing hardware where molded shells cannot.
