What is BS EN 61169-53 - RF coaxial connectors about?
BS EN 61169-53 is a safety standard on radio-frequency connectors.
BS EN 61169-53, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with threaded coupling, typically for use in 50 Ω cable networks (Type S7-16). BS EN 61169-53 prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors – grade 2, dimensional details of standard test connectors-grade 0, gauging information, and tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to series 4.1-9.5 RF connectors.
BS EN 61169-53 indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detailed specification and BS EN 61169-53 covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H. The S7-16 series RF coaxial connectors with nominal impedance 50 Ω are threaded coupling units that are used with all kinds of RF cables and microstrips in a microwave transmission system. And the working frequency is up to 7,5 GHz.
Note: Metric dimensions are original dimensions. All unidimensional pictorial configurations are for reference purposes only.
Who is BS EN 61169-53 - RF coaxial connectors for?
BS EN 61169-53 on the sectional specification for RF coaxial connectors is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of RF coaxial connectors
- Testing authorities
- Electromagnetic engineers
- Electrical engineers
- Mechanical engineers
- Electricians
Why should you use BS EN 61169-53 - RF coaxial connectors?
An RF coaxial connector is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range.
BS EN 61169-53 assists the user with the test procedure that comprises of two test methods, which are the sizing test and withdrawal test.
Overall, BS EN 61169-53 is useful as it provides recommended ratings, performance, and test conditions to be considered when writing a detailed specification (DS). BS EN 61169-53 also provides 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.
