About the M85049/88-17W03 Backshell
The M85049/88 family covers straight, self-locking EMI/RFI banding backshells fitted with a shrink-boot adapter, listed under the M85049 (MIL-DTL-85049) connector accessory specification for use with MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and Series IV circular connectors. The rear of the shell presents a banding platform so a cable braid or overall EMI shield can be terminated through 360 degrees using a crimped band, while the forward profile gives a heat-shrink boot a defined location for environmental sealing and strain relief at the cable entry. The self-locking coupling nut is supplied with a detented feature that gives an audible indication of engagement and helps the accessory stay coupled under vibration. In this part number the 17 identifies connector shell size 17 and the W identifies an olive drab cadmium plating over a suitable underplate — the electrically conductive finish class used across MIL-DTL-38999 hardware. This item is an Amphenol PCD part.

Typical applications
Banding backshells of this type are used in aerospace and defence wiring harnesses wherever a shielded bundle must be grounded to the connector shell and then environmentally sealed. Typical settings include airframe and avionics harnessing, ground-support and shelter interconnect, UAV payload looms and MRO workshops rebuilding shielded assemblies. Selection is normally driven by connector shell size, finish class and the recovered boot dimensions required for the cable bundle.
