The Amphenol PCD M85049/49-2-12W is a MIL-spec circular connector backshell with integrated cable clamp designed to provide reliable strain relief and secure cable management for aerospace and military-grade connectors. Manufactured to the SAE AS85049 (formerly MIL-DTL-85049) standard, this backshell ensures robust mechanical protection and long-term reliability in demanding electrical interconnect applications.

Constructed from durable aluminum alloy with cadmium plating and an olive-drab finish, the backshell offers excellent corrosion resistance and environmental durability. Its straight (180°) cable exit configuration and clamp-screw design securely fasten cables to the connector, reducing stress on contacts and preventing cable damage during vibration or movement.

This model is designed for shell sizes 12 and 13 and is commonly used with MIL-DTL-38999 Series I and II connectors, making it suitable for aerospace, defense, and high-reliability electronic systems.
