New AS85049 Standard

AE Aerospace has assumed control of the M85049 specification for cylindrical connector backshells and accessories. All existing M85049 specification documents are now supersceded by the new AS85049 standard.

For convenience in ordering however, basic part numbering for these components will still utilize the familiar M85049 prefix. In other words, only the ID of the controlling specification documentation will convert to SAE nomenclature; individual slash sheet part numbers will maintain their original M85049 order numbers. In addition to the above change, several new specification slash sheets have been added to the AS85049 family of cylindrical backshells for Mil-Spec connectors. Glenair will supply the following new products just as soon as the formal SAE qualification process is completed.
