I plan to use connectors [1727040015-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/1727040015/5874209) and [WM12475-ND](https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/molex/1727040034/5817762) with coaxial cables. I cannot find the correct connector backshells for them. ---

Greetings, D-subs are largely standardized, allowing some mix/match activity between inserts and backshells. Look at the “Shell Size, Connector layout” attribute for cues as to which backshells fit which inserts, and select accordingly from the “Compatible Shell Size” attribute in the [d-sub backshell family.](https://www.digikey.com/short/n5r51zc0). If I read correctly, you’d need a C and B size shell for your two connectors respectively. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/digikey/original/3X/b/9/b913eedd2d89836b25c20bc5c4e2b6ff6b655461.png)
