What is BS EN 6116959 - 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 6116959 is a sectional specification (SS), that provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications (DS) for type L32-4 and L32-5 threaded multi-pin radio frequency connectors with anti mis-mating mechanism, 50 Ω nominal impedance. The operating frequency of each channel is up to 4 GHz. These connectors have been widely used in mobile communication systems like TD-SCDMA and TD-LTE and can also be used in some similar equipment.
BS EN 61169-59 also prescribes mating face dimensions for general connectors-grade 2, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to the type L32-4 and L32-5 multi-pin connectors. BS EN 6116959 provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications for type L32-4 and L32-5 multi-pin connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. BS EN 6116959 indicates the 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 61169-59 - Radio-frequency connectors for?
BS EN 61169-59 on Radio-frequency connectors is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 61169-59 - Radio-frequency connectors?
Radio-frequency connectors are typically used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. Better models also minimize the change in transmission line impedance at the connection in order to reduce signal reflection and power loss. BS EN 61169-59 provide a recommended rating, performance, and test conditions to be considered when writing a detailed specification. BS EN 61169-59 also prescribe the test schedules and procedures that suit the corresponding quality inspection level.
The values indicated below are recommended for type L32-4 and L32-5 threaded multi-pin radio frequency connector and are given for the writer of the detailed specification. They are applicable for the condition when the connectors are fully mated. The preferable characteristics can be seen in BS EN 61169-59. Certain tests are listed without any recommended values being given when they are not required. When such tests are required, appropriate values are entered in the BS EN 61169-59 at the discretion of the specification writer. Using BS EN 61169-59 you can provide specifications and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications (DS) for type L32-4 and L32-5 threaded multi-pin radio frequency connectors with anti-mis-mating mechanism, 50 Ω nominal impedance.
