The M85049/88-19P03 is a straight band-lock backshell for MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and IV connectors in shell size 19, with entry size 03. The /88 slash sheet is the straight member of the AS85049 self-locking backshell family (/89 is the 45° and /90 the 90° version), and the band-lock termination clamps the cable shield to the backshell with a metal band rather than a compression nut — the lowest-impedance shield termination available, and the reason band-lock accessories dominate EMI-critical harnesses. Because it slips over the accessory threads and locks in place, it can be fitted to an already-terminated connector without re-doing the contacts. The finish is set by the single letter following the shell size — the /88-19 housing is offered in several finishes including olive drab cadmium and electroless nickel — and the trailing 03 is the cable entry size.
