What is BS EN IEC 61169‑60 about?
BS EN IEC 61169 discusses radio-frequency (RF) coaxial connectors. BS EN IEC 61169‑60 provides guidelines and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with push-on coupling, typically for use in 50 Ω RF cables or micro-strips in the microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems, and other fields (SMPM).
BS EN IEC 61169‑60 specifies mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors – grade 2, dimensional details of standard test connectors-grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from BS EN IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to series SMPM RF connectors.
BS EN IEC 61169‑60 indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a DS and also covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.
Who is BS EN IEC 61169‑60 for?
BS EN IEC 61169‑60 on RF coaxial connectors is applicable to those entities who are industry experts in communication devices, and involved in writing specifications for RF emission ranges for coaxial connectors. So BS EN IEC 61169‑15 is useful for:
- Communication device and equipment industry experts
- Regulatory bodies
- Research and development teams
- Product innovation teams
Why should you use BS EN IEC 61169‑60?
RF coaxial connectors are electrical connectors designed to work at pre-determined radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range to maintain the shielding that coaxial connector design offers. BS EN IEC 61169‑60 guides you with the dimension specifications and test procedures to design effective RF coaxial connectors and also guides you with the selection of appropriate tests.
BS EN IEC 61169‑60 provides you with the procedures for quality conformance and inspection of RF coaxial connectors.
The SMPM push-on coupling structure series RF coaxial connectors which are mentioned in BS EN IEC 61169‑60 come with the characteristic of normative impedance 50 Ω are used with various kinds of RF cables or micro-strips in the microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems. The operating frequency limit is up to 65 GHz.
BS EN IEC 61169‑60 elaborates on SMPM connectors which are commonly used in miniaturized high-frequency coaxial modules and is offered in both push-on and Snap-On mating styles. This offers you the benefit of easy installation as the SMPM comes in a small size.
Following the specifications provided in BS EN IEC 61169‑60 you would be in a position to create DS for RF coaxial connectors.
