About the M85049/69-15W Circular Connector
The M85049/69-15W is a straight shrink boot adapter built to the M85049/69 military specification sheet. It threads onto the rear accessory interface of MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and Series IV circular connectors and provides a machined, grooved profile onto which a heat-shrinkable boot can be recovered, sealing and supporting the harness transition at the rear of the connector. Adapters in this family are machined from aluminium alloy and use a rotatable coupling ring so the adapter can be tightened without twisting the cable bundle. In the part number, ‘/69′ identifies the straight shrink boot adapter style, ’15’ is the shell size matching a size-15 D38999 connector, and ‘W’ is the finish code for olive drab cadmium plating. The adapter is used together with a suitable shrink boot to build sealed, strain-relieved harness terminations.
