What is BS EN 61169-19 - Radio-frequency connectors about?
BS EN 61169 is a series on radio-frequency connectors. A Radio-frequency connector is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. BS EN 61169-19 provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specification of SSMB series R.F connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification.
BS EN 61169-19 also prescribes mating face dimensions for grade 2 general-purpose connectors, dimensional detail of grade 0 standard test connectors, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to SSMB series RF connectors. BS EN 61169-19 indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detailed specification and BS EN 61169-19 covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.
Who is BS EN 61169-19 - Radio-frequency connectors for?
BS EN 61169-19 on radio-frequency connectors is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61169-19 - Radio-frequency connectors?
Radio-frequency connectors are typically used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. BS EN 61169-19 defines the SSMB series connectors with characteristic impedance 50 Ω as one kind of low power miniature connector with a Snap-On coupling mechanism and has the characteristics of lightweight, small size, convenient connection, and excellent characteristics. This connector range is suitable for the standard ranges of flexible and semi-rigid cables and is also available as a PCB mounted version. The connectors are usable up to a frequency of 3 GHz.
BS EN 61169-19 provide a recommended rating, performance, and test conditions to be considered when writing a detailed specification. BS EN 61169-19 also provide an appropriate schedule of tests with minimum levels of conformance inspection sampling, together with the Pro-forma blank detail specification (BDS) and instructions for the preparation of a detail specification. BS EN 61169-19 comprise the Pro-forma BDS dedicated for use with 50 Ω type SSMB connectors. As such, it will already have entered its information relating to the basic specification number applicable to all the detail specifications covering connector styles of the type covered by BS EN 61169-19 and the connector series designation. Using BS EN 61169-19 you can provide information and rules for the preparation of detail specification of SSMB series R.F connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification.
