Overview

Conformable®, or hand formable (BJ - Braided Jacket), has a tin filled braid with a metal foil underlay and is also available in the same diameters as the Semi-Rigid type BJ141 cable is the most popular size in the hand-formable cable group. This cable is used throughout the industry as a low cost assembly that delivers high performance. There is a slight penalty in loss and shielding when compared to .141 Semi-Rigid but BJ141 does not require detailed bending drawings Conformable® BJ085 BJ085 is recognized as a cost savings replacement for .086 Semi-Rigid. This cable eliminates the need for costly detailed drawings.

BJ085 cable can either be purchased to a part number or a customer part number if special requirements such as marking are required. BJ085W cable is also available, which includes a polyolefin jacket covering the outside of the cable. Conformable BJ141 BJ141 cable is the most popular size in the hand-formable cable group. This cable is used throughout the industry as a low cost assembly that delivers high performance. There is a slight penalty in loss and shielding when compared to .141 Semi-Rigid but BJ141 does not require detailed bending drawingsNote: Conformable® is a registered trademark of Belden

    One-stop-shop laboratory replicates deep space environment

    Space flight hardware is exposed to severe shock, vibration, thermal variations and electromagnetic environments that start with launch and continue throughout its operational lifetime. Environmental tests expose the hardware to these environments in a simulation laboratory to validate the design, screen for manufacturing defects and ensure the reliability and survivability of flight hardware.
