What is BS EN 61169-14 - Radio-frequency connectors about?
BS EN 61169-14 is a standard that serves technical specifications for Radio-frequency connectors, ensuring reliability in communication channels.
BS EN 61169-14 concerns RF coaxial connectors for use with RF cables both flexible and semirigid, where air dielectric interface and high mechanical stability is required for severe environmental exposure. The connectors provide low reflection in the microwave region up to 12 GHz and all patterns may provide sealing up to a pressure differential of 3 bar.
Who is BS EN 61169-14 - Radio-frequency connectors for?
BS EN 61169-14 on radio-frequency connectors applies to:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of radio-frequency connectors
- Dealers and importers of radio-frequency connectors
- Testing houses and labs for radio-frequency connectors
- Quality assurance services
Why should you use BS EN 61169-14 - Radio-frequency connectors?
A coaxial RF connector is an electrical connector that operates at multi-megahertz radio frequencies. Radio-frequency connectors are frequently used along with coaxial cables and provide shielding that the coaxial design offers. RF connectors also minimize the change in transmission lines and power loss. BS EN 61169-14 provides users guidance on IEC type designation, mating face for general-purpose connector, gauges and standard test connectors, survey of patterns, outline dimensions, and more, ensuring reliability in communication channels.
BS EN 61169-14 also provides users guidance on quality assessment and detail specifications including ratings, test schedule, inspection requirements, procedures, identification of detail specification and component, performance, marking and ordering, ensuring safety, performance, classification and usability of radio frequency connectors. With obedience and compliance of BS EN 61169-14, users can develop and assess radio frequency connectors, enabling scalability, versatility and longevity in communication applications.
