This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with screw, snapon,
push-pull or quick-lock, slide-in coupling (rack and panel applications) with a
characterisctic impedance of 50 ohm (type 1,0/2,3) for 50 ohm and 75 ohm applications).
The connectors are normally used with flexible and semi-rigid r.f. cables for low power
applications in conjunction with 50 ohm cables in an operating frequency range up to 10 GHz or
in conjunction with 75 ohm cables up to 2 GHz.
It describes the interface dimensions for general purpose grade 2 connectors, dimensional
details for standard test connectors, grade 0, together with gauging information and the
mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all DS relating to type 1,0/2,3
connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers test schedules and inspection requirements.
