FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC

6 Instructions for preparation of detail specifications (DS)
6.1 General
Detail specifications (DS) writers shall use the appropriate blank detail specification (BDS). The
following pages comprise the BDS dedicated for use with 75 Ω Type HD-BNC connectors. As
such it will already have entered on it information in relation to:
a) the basic specification number applicable to all the detail specifications covering connector
styles of the series covered by the sectional specification;
b) the connector series designation.
The specification writer should enter the details relating to the connector style to be covered as
indicated. The numbers in brackets in the BDS correspond to the following indications, which
shall be given.
6.2 Identification of the component
(1) Enter the following details:
– Style: the style designation of the connector including type of fixing and sealing if
applicable.
– Attachment: by deletion of the inapplicable options of cable/wire given for centre and
outer conductors.
– Special features and markings: as applicable.
– Series designation: in bold characters/digits approximately 15 mm high.
(2) Enter detail of assessment level and the climatic category.
(3) A reproduction of the outline drawing and details of the panel piercing (if applicable). It
shall provide the maximum envelope dimensions, also the position of the reference plane
and, in the case of a fixed connector, the position of the mounting plane(s) relative to
the front face of the connector.
(4) Any maximum panel thickness limitations for fixed connectors shall be stated.
(5) Particulars of all variants covered by the DS. As appropriate, the information shall
include
– cable type (or sizes) applicable to each variant,
– alternative plated or protective finishes,
– details of alternative mounting flanges having either tapped or plain mounting holes,
– details of alternative solder spills or solder buckets including, when applicable, those
for use with microwave integrated circuit (MIC) components.
6.3 Performance
(6) Performance data listing the most important characteristics of the connector in
accordance with the requirements of the relevant sectional specification. Deviations from
the minimum requirements shall be clearly indicated. Non-applicable parameters shall
be marked "na".
6.4 Marking, ordering information and related matters
(7) Insert marking and ordering information as appropriate together with details of related
documents and any invoked structural similarity.

6.5 Selection of tests, test conditions and severities
(8) "na" shall be used to indicate non-applicable tests. All tests marked "a" by detail
specification writer shall be mandatory.
When using the normal procedure with a dedicated BDS, the letter "a" − for applicable
– shall be entered in the "test required" column against each of the tests indicated as
being mandatory in the test schedule of the relevant sectional specification. Any
additional test required at the discretion of the specification writer shall also be indicated
by an "a".
The specification writer shall also indicate, when necessary, details of deviations from
the standard test conditions, including any relevant deviations given in the test schedule
of the sectional specification.
