What is BS EN 61169-35 - 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 61169-35 provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specification of 2,92 series RF coaxial connectors together with the Pro-forma blank detail specification. BS EN 61169-35 also prescribes mating face dimensions for high-performance connectors - grade 1, dimensional detail of standard test connectors - Grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to 2,92 series RF coaxial connectors. BS EN 61169-35 indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detailed specification and it covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.
Who is BS EN 61169-35 - Radio-frequency connectors for?
BS EN 61169-35 on radio-frequency connectors is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61169-35 - 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 61169-35 describes The 2,92 series coaxial connectors with characteristic impedance 50 Ω, 2,92 mm inner diameter of the outer conductor and screw coupling, which is used for millimetre-wave applications, connecting with RF cables or microstrips. The operating frequency limit is up to 40 GHz. Mating interface standards of the 2,92 series connectors are similar to IEEE std 287-2007 (2,92 mm) and MIL-std-348A (SMK). The 2,92 connectors can be inter-mated with SMA, and 3,5 mm connectors as per the following standards. SMA: IEC 61169-35, MIL-PRF-39012D and MIL-STD-348A. 3,5 mm: IEC 60169-23, IEEE std 287-2007.
BS EN 61169-35 provides a recommended rating, performance, and test conditions to be considered when writing a detailed specification. BS EN 61169-35 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 61169-35 comprise the BDS dedicated for use with type 2,92 connectors. As such, it will already have entered its information relating to the basic specification number applicable to all the detailed specifications covering connector styles of the type covered by the sectional specification and the connector series designation. Using BS EN 61169-35 you can provide information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications of 2,92 series RF coaxial connectors.
