About the M85049/38S15W Backshell
M85049/38S15W is a circular-connector strain relief clamp procured to the M85049/38 sheet of the AS85049 (formerly MIL-DTL-85049) connector-accessory specification. Distributor and manufacturer data identify it as a straight strain relief in aluminium alloy for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and IV connectors, sized for shell size 15, with the S in the part number indicating the self-locking (rotatable, anti-decoupling) coupling style and the W finish code indicating cadmium olive drab over electroless nickel. Newark’s listing gives a maximum accommodated cable diameter of 11.61 mm for this size. The clamp screws onto the connector’s rear accessory threads and its saddle bars clamp the wire bundle, transferring cable loads away from the contact terminations.
