The Versaflex family of miniature coaxial cable assemblies from Bruel and Kjaer/Endevco are based on an improved cable design that offers more durability, flexibility and resistance to high temperatures.
Especially suited for applications that require limited out gassing, with materials that have a total mass loss (TML) of 1% or less and a collected volatile condensable materials (CVCM) specification of 0.1% or less.
The Versaflex cable assemblies provide extremely secure connections via new coupling nuts that are less susceptible to galling and twisting.
A diamond-back knurl allows more torque to be applied, and an integrated hexagonal section enables the use of a wrench or crow's foot for even more torque.
The Versaflex cable assemblies use extruded jackets to remain waterproof and eliminate potential ground loops.
Hermetic connectors provide a strong bond between the PIN and connector shell via a fired-glass insulator.
This prevents pin pullout and ensures durability, non-intermittency, and high temperature operation.
Silver-plated, high strength alloy conductors allow more flexures without fatigue or failure, and can operate continuously at temperatures up to 260C, with limited excursions to 300C.
In addition, as a performance option, the Versaflex cables can be vacuum-baked and double-bagged in an inert gas.
