Product description

M85049/42-16DW circular backshell strain relief by Glenair for cable clamp and MIL-spec applications.

The Glenair M85049/42-16DW is a circular MIL-Spec backshell strain relief adapter designed to provide secure cable management and mechanical protection in harsh environments. This strain relief backshell complies with military specification M85049/42, ensuring durability and reliability in demanding aerospace, defense, and industrial applications. Key technical features include:

  • High-performance cable clamp for strain relief to reduce mechanical stress on connectors
  • Designed to interface with circular connectors under MIL-Spec standards
  • Ensures proper bending radius and mitigates cable fatigue during bioprocessing or molecular diagnostics instrumentation setups
  • Suitable for integration into complex cabling systems used in synthetic biology research and clinical diagnostics instrumentation
  • Constructed for robustness in biotechnology laboratory environments requiring secure electrical connectivity

This backshell is essential for maintaining cable integrity in molecular biology workflows, biomanufacturing equipment connections, and biomedical engineering instrumentation where reliable electrical signal transmission and strain relief are critical. Widely used in systems supporting gene editing tools, live-cell imaging platforms, and fluorescence analysis devices.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
