Description
M85049/38S11W BACKSHELL CABLE CLAMP STRAIGHT SELF-LOCKING SIZE 11 OLIVE DRAB CADMIUM D38999 S3 — BOLTON SKU 55711.
About the M85049/38S11W Circular Connector
M85049/38 is the slash sheet covering straight strain-relief clamps under the AS85049 backshell specification (superseding MIL-C-85049/38), used with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and Series IV circular connectors and with EN3645. The backshell threads onto the rear of the connector and clamps the cable, so that pulling and bending loads are taken by the clamp rather than by the terminated contacts, and the exit is tidied and supported after termination. In this designation the S denotes the self-locking coupling variant, 11 is the connector shell size, and W is the cadmium olive drab over electroless nickel finish on an aluminium body — a plating combination rated by backshell manufacturers for 500 hours of salt-spray exposure. M85049/38 clamps are catalogued across shell sizes 9 to 25, so the correct size must match the connector it is fitted to.

Typical applications
Strain-relief backshells are fitted to circular connectors in airframe and avionics harnesses, UAV and payload interconnect, ground-support and vehicle installations, and shelter and deployable-infrastructure wiring built to military interconnect practice. They protect the termination from cable pull and vibration and control the cable exit direction at the connector. Backshell selection is driven by the connector shell size, finish and cable outside diameter specified in the harness drawing.
