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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for IEC 61169 (all parts) coaxial connectors
with 0,8 mm coupling.
The connectors are used with cables with characteristic impedance 50 Ω in an operating
frequency range up to 145 GHz. The connectors are widely used in communications and
measurements.
It describes the interface dimensions for general purpose connectors with gauging information
and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications
relative to type 0,8 connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers all tests schedules and inspection requirements.
NOTE Dimension are in mm, however original dimensions were in inches.
All un-dimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference purpose only.

4.2.2 Test procedure
a) Sizing test
The gauge A shall be completely inserted three times into the socket centre contact. This
is a sizing operation.
After sizing, gauge A shall be inserted into socket centre contact. The insertion force shall
not exceed 0,56 N.
b) Withdrawal test
After this, separation force is measured with gauge B and shall require a minimum force of
0,14 N. The contact shall retain the mass of the gauge B in a vertical downward position.
c) Additional test – Insertion test
Following the sizing operation, and if prescribed in the detail specification, the force
necessary to insert gauge A fully into the female centre contact shall be measured. When
this test is required, the maximum permitted insertion force shall then be specified and
shall not exceed 0,28 N.

5 Quality assessment procedures
5.1 General
Subclauses 5.2 to 5.4 provide recommended ratings, performance and test conditions to be
considered when writing a detail specification. They also provide 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.
5.2 Ratings and characteristics (see Clause 5 of IEC 61169-1:2013)
The values indicated below are recommended for IEC 61169 (all parts) RF connectors and
are given for the writer of the detail specification. They are applicable for the condition when
the connectors are fully mated.
Certain tests will usually not be required. When these tests are required, appropriate values
shall be entered in the detail specification at the discretion of the specification writer.
Rating and characteristics are given in Table 6.

pages comprise the pro-forma BDS dedicated for use with type 50 Ω type 0,8 connectors. As
such, it will already have entered on it information relating to
a) the basic specification number applicable to all the detail specification covering connector
styles of the type covered by the sectional specification,
b) the connector series designation.
The specification writer should enter the details relating to the connector style/variant(s) to be
covered as indicated. The numbers in brackets on 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 details 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 types (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 Performances
6) Performance data listing the most important characteristics of the connectors in
accordance with the requirements of the relevant sectional specification. Deviation from
the minimum requirements shall be clearly indicated. Non-applicable parameters shall
marked "na".
6.4 Marking, ordering information and related matters
7) Insert marking and ordering information as appropriate, together with details or related
documents and any invoked structural similarity.

6.5 Selection of tests, test conditions and severities
8) "na" shall be used to indicated non-applicable tests. All tests marked "a" by the 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 tests
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 method and test conditions, including any relevant deviations given in the test
schedule of the sectional specification.
