Overview

IEC 62153-4-10:2015/AMD1:2020 is an important amendment to the international standard defining test methods for metallic communication cables, specifically focusing on electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). This part - Part 4-10 - addresses the measurement of transfer impedance and screening attenuation of feed-throughs and electromagnetic gaskets using the double coaxial test method. The amendment enhances testing accuracy by introducing a detailed procedure for measuring transfer impedance of conductive gaskets under controlled contact pressure.

Developed by IEC Technical Committee 46, the standard ensures consistent and reliable methods for evaluating EMC characteristics of cable components, essential for minimizing electromagnetic interference and maintaining high signal integrity in communication systems.

Key Features

  • Scope: Electromagnetic compatibility testing involving transfer impedance and attenuation of conductive feed-throughs and gaskets.
  • Measurement Methods:
    • Test Method A: Matched RF-generator and test receiver setup.
    • Test Method B: Un-matched Network Analyser (NWA) measurement.
  • Controlled Pressure Measurement: Annex D introduces procedures for evaluating the transfer impedance of conductive gaskets under varied contact pressures, acknowledging the physical relationship between contact force and contact resistance.
  • Test Setup & Equipment:
    • RF generator, test receiver or network analyser.
    • Appropriate test fixtures for specimen sizes.
    • Terminating resistors (required for Method A).
  • Specimen Sizes: Two sizes specified for different frequency ranges - Size A for up to 3 GHz and Size B for up to 750 MHz.
  • Operational Attenuation Calculation: Procedures provided to calculate the operational attenuation and transfer impedance from measured parameters.

Practical Applications

IEC 62153-4-10:2015/AMD1:2020 is essential for manufacturers, testers, and designers involved in the production and quality assurance of metallic communication cables and related components. Key application areas include:

  • Quality Control: Ensuring electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of feed-through connectors and gaskets.
  • Product Development: Designing components with optimal EMC characteristics to reduce signal loss and interference.
  • Compliance Testing: Meeting international EMC standards requirements for telecommunications and data transmission cables.
  • Performance Assessment Under Pressure: Assessing how contact pressures affect gasket performance, enabling more accurate predictions of real-world behavior in cable assemblies.
  • Electromagnetic Interference Mitigation: Providing reliable data to improve shielding strategies in cable systems used in sensitive electronic environments.

The standard supports industries such as telecommunications, broadcasting, automotive electronics, aerospace, and industrial automation where EMC compliance is critical.

Annexe D
(informative)
Measurement of the transfer impedance of conductive
gaskets with controlled contact pressure
D.1 General
A well-known effect in contact physics is the dependence of the contact resistance to the
force F that is applied to the contact system. A typical progression of the contact resistance
−2/3
follows ~F meaning that if the contact force is increased, the contact resistance is
decreasing based on an increasing number of microscopic contact points. Conductive gaskets
act in a similar manner. When the pressure acting on the gasket is increased, the resistance
of the transition through the arrangement contact surface 1 – gasket – contact surface 2 is
decreasing.
This annex gives the normative details whenever pressure controlled measurements of the
transfer impedance of conductive gaskets are required.

D.2 Measuring equipment and auxiliary measuring devices
Typical measuring equipment and auxiliary measuring devices consist of:
• RF-generator and test receiver (test method A) or a network analyser (NWA) (test
method B,
• test fixture for the relevant specimen size,
• terminating resistor (test method A: RF-generator and test receiver).
D.3 Test setup
The test set-up is shown in Figure D.1.

Figure D.1 – Test set-up
Figure D.2 shows the details of an example for a suitable test fixture enabling the
determination of certain contact pressures during the measurement.
