M85049/49-2-14W Circular Connector Backshell

The M85049/49-2-14W is a MIL-spec straight backshell with integrated strain-relief cable clamp designed to protect and secure wiring at the termination point of circular connectors. Built to the SAE AS85049 (formerly MIL-DTL-85049) standard, this backshell provides dependable cable management, mechanical protection, and long-term reliability in demanding aerospace, defense, and industrial environments. 

Constructed from aluminum alloy with cadmium-nickel plating and an olive drab finish, the backshell offers excellent durability and corrosion resistance. Its straight (180°) cable exit design and clamp-screw mechanism secure cables firmly to the connector, reducing strain on contacts and preventing cable damage caused by vibration or movement.

The M85049/49-2-14W is designed for shell size 14 circular connectors and is commonly used with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and II connectors, making it suitable for rugged electrical interconnect systems that require secure cable termination and reliable environmental performance.
