The M85049/88S-15N is a straight banding-style cable backshell designed for circular electrical connectors. It is the AS85049 / GJB1784 standard part number, interchangeable with J1784/88S-15N, and is commonly used with GJB599 / D38999 Series III and Series IV connectors in shell size 15.

As an /88S-type accessory, the M85049/88S-15N provides self-locking coupling, EMI/RFI shield termination via banding, shrink-boot accommodation, and mechanical strain relief. The electroless nickel finish (N) supports corrosion resistance while maintaining electrical continuity for shielded harness assemblies.

• Conformant to national standard GJB1784 (equivalent to AS85049)
• Interchangeable with cross-reference part number J1784/88S-15N
• Straight banding backshell for EMI/RFI shield termination with AS85049/128 style bands
• Self-locking coupling (S) for improved vibration resistance during installation and service
• Shrink-boot accommodation for environmental sealing over the cable exit
• Electroless nickel plating finish denoted by the N suffix
• Shell size 15 for D38999 / GJB599 Series III and IV circular connector interfaces

Related options: M85049/88S-15W uses olive drab cadmium finish; angled versions include M85049/89 (45 degree) and M85049/90 (90 degree). Full procurement codes may also include cable-entry size suffixes such as 02 or 03. There is no functional difference between model prefixes marked "M85049" and related AS85049 designations.

• Aircraft and helicopter wiring harnesses needing 360 degree shield continuity
• Avionics LRUs, radar, and communication equipment
• Ground vehicles and rugged electronic enclosures
• Shipboard and industrial connector assemblies with shrink-boot sealing
• High-vibration installs where self-locking coupling improves retention

• Confirm shell size 15, self-locking style (S), finish (N), and cable-entry size before ordering.
• Use compatible banding tools and AS85049/128 style termination bands for shield termination.
• Install the shrink boot over the accessory barrel after band termination to improve environmental sealing.
• Verify connector series compatibility: /88S accessories are intended for Series III / IV interfaces, not Series I / II clamp styles.
• Where required by the harness drawing, add anti-loosening methods such as safety wire, thread-locking compound, or full heat-shrink over the accessory.

Choosing the M85049/88S-15N ensures form-fit-function compatibility with J1784/88S-15N supply chains while meeting GJB1784 / AS85049 requirements. The straight self-locking banding geometry supports EMI/RFI shield continuity, shrink-boot sealing, and reliable retention behind Series III / IV circular connectors in aerospace and industrial interconnect systems.

Order by the AS85049 designation M85049/88S-15N, or cross-reference as J1784/88S-15N, depending on your procurement standard. When requesting a quote, please confirm cable-entry size (02/03), mating connector part number, and required quantity.
