Applications

The M85049/2918W06 is a straight, non-environmental backshell for MIL-DTL-38999 circular connectors in shell size 18, with an entry (clamp) size of 06. The /29 slash sheet is the plain strain-relief clamp of the M85049 family: it grips the cable bundle and takes the mechanical load off the contacts, but it provides neither an environmental seal nor 360° screen termination. Where a harness needs shielding or moisture protection, the environmental (/7, /9, /11) or EMI/RFI (/8, /10, /17, /36) members of the family are used instead. The finish letter W is aluminium with olive drab cadmium over an electroless nickel underplate.

This part number was carved out of DLA solicitation SPE7M5-26-T-495R and quoted separately as a three-unit requirement for the Naval Air Warfare Center at Point Mugu, California, with a response deadline of 24 September 2026. It is a QPL (FSC 5935) item.
