Application

M85049/11-83W is the AS85049/11 straight environmental backshell in shell size 40 with finish W, cadmium olive drab over electroless nickel. The /11 sheet is the general-purpose environmental clamp backshell that superseded MS3437B: the cable bundle passes straight out of the connector shell, the grommet seals on the jacket, and the clamp takes the strain so the contacts never carry it. Size 40 is the largest accessory shell in the range, used on the big multi-contact circulars where the harness bundle is thick and a 45° or 90° exit would break the bend radius. DLA buys this dash number directly (solicitation SPE7M5-27-T-0082, 32 units), and as a QPL item the part number must be quoted exactly — the dash number is not interchangeable between shell sizes.
