IEC 61169-29

IEC 61169-29:2005

Radio-frequency connectors - Part 29: Sectional specification - Miniature radio frequency coaxial connectors model screw, snap-on, push-pull or quick-lock, slide-in (rack and panel applications) - Characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type 1,0/2,3) - 50 Ω and 75 Ω applications.

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 Ω (type 1,0/2,3) for 50 Ω and 75 Ω applications.

The connectors are normally used with flexible and semi-rigid r.f. cables for low power applications in conjunction with 50 Ω cables in an operating frequency range up to 10 GHz or in conjunction with 75 Ω 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.
