MIL-DTL-38999 connector assemblies
Aircraft wiring harnesses
Military communication systems
Avionics interconnect platforms
Defense electronic enclosures
Industrial ruggedized connectors
Product Overview
The M85049/38-17N from Amphenol is a size 17 straight strain relief backshell designed for MIL-DTL-38999 and compatible circular connectors. It secures the cable entry point while reducing strain on internal contacts. Because proper strain relief is critical in vibration-prone environments, this backshell helps maintain long-term electrical integrity.
Moreover, the aluminum construction and conductive plating support durability and EMI shielding performance. This makes the accessory suitable for aerospace platforms, military vehicles, and industrial equipment. In addition, compliance with AS85049 standards ensures predictable fit and reliable integration within approved systems.
As a result, engineers rely on M85049/38-17N backshells when building durable and compliant connector assemblies. Cyndtek supplies new Amphenol connector accessories ready for immediate deployment.
