Part 1: General requirements and measuring methods
FOREWORD
1) The formal decisions or agreements of the I E C on technical matters, prepared by Technical Committees on which all the
National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
2) They have the form of recommendations for international use and they are accepted by the National Committees in that
sense.
3)
In order to promote international unification, the I E C expresses the wish that all National Committees should adopt
the text of the I E C recommendation for their national rules in so far as national conditions will permit. Any divergence
between the I E C recommendations and the corresponding national rules should, as far as possible, be clearly
indicated in the latter.
PREFACE
This recommendation has been prepared by Sub-Committee 46D, Connectors for R.F. Cables, of I E C
Technical Committee No. 46, Cables, Wires and Waveguides for Telecommunication Equipment.
A first draft was discussed at the meeting held in The Hague in 1970. As a result of this meeting, a final
draft, document 46D(Central Office)5, was submitted to the National Committees for approval under the
Six Months' Rule in July 1971. Amendments, document 46D(Central Office)14, were submitted to the
National Committees for approval under the Two Months' Procedure in September 1972.

AND THEIR ASSOCIATED PRECISION CONNECTORS
Part 1: General requirements and measuring methods
This recommendation shall be used in conjunction with:
— I E C Publication 68, Basic Environmental Testing Procedures;
— ISO Recommendation R 286;
— ISO Recommendation R 370.
The schedule of test shall be specified in the detail specification.
1. Scope
This recommendation relates to rigid precision coaxial lines and their associated precision
connectors for instrumentation, to be used within the limits for temperature, humidity and
pressure as given in the standard atmospheric conditions for testing in Publication 68-1, Part 1:
General. Precision connectors can be of the hermaphroditic type, flange type or of the pin and
socket type.
This recommendation covers requirements for precision connectors mounted on rigid precision
coaxial lines and gives mechanical data for coupling mechanism.
2. Object
The aim of this recommendation is to specify the following for rigid precision coaxial lines
and their associated connectors:
a) the requirements necessary to ensure compatibility and, as far as essential, interchangeability;
b) the test methods;
c) the dimensional deviations allowed to ensure adequate electrical performance.
SECTION ONE — GENERAL
Terminology
3.
3.1 Technical terms
In accordance with the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (I.V.E.), I E C Publication 50.
In addition, the following terms are used in this recommendation.
3.1.1. Size
For precision lines, the size is defined as the rounded-off inner diameter of the outer conductor,
expressed in millimetres.
3.1.2 . Wall thickness
The basic wall thickness is defined as half the difference between nominal outside and inside
diameters.

3.1.3 Ellipticity
of inner or outer conductor is defined by the formula:
Ellipticity "E"
_ Dmax—Dmin
E,
Dnom
where:
E denotes the ellipticity of either outer or inner conductor
nominal inside diameter of outer conductor or the nominal outside diameter of centre
Dnom =
conductor
largest measured diameter either of outer or centre conductor
D. =
Dmin = smallest measured diameter either of outer or centre conductor
These measurements are to be made at the same cross-section.
3.1.4 Excentricity
De
Excentricity e =
D
Ae = deviation of the axis of the outside diameter of the centre conductor from the axis of the
inside diameter of the outer conductor.
Curvature
3.1.5
Curvature is defined as the maximum deviation of the actual axis of the coaxial line from a
straight line of specified length connecting two points on that axis.
3.1.6 Attenuation and insertion loss
The attenuation of a coaxial line is defined as the reduction of transmitted power expressed
in decibels per unit of length. In the case of connectors, the specifications refer to the insertion
loss of a mated pair.
Frequency range
3.1.7
Cut-off frequency
3.1.7.1
TEN
The theoretical cut-off frequency of a coaxial line is the calculated frequency at which the
mode theoretically first occurs (the practical value will be different from this).
3.1.7.2 Maximum frequency
The maximum frequency up to which all the requirements shown in the detail specification
are maintained.
Laboratory precision connector (LPC)
3.1.8
The laboratory precision connector (LPC) is a precision connector with no dielectric support
for use with air-dielectric line standards.
General precision connector (GPC)
3.1.9
The general precision connector (GPC) is a precision connector with a self-contained dielectric
support and all component parts captive for general use. The GPC must be capable of supporting
the unsupported LPC inner conductor.

3.1.10 Centre contact
Hermaphroditic connectors
3.1.10.1
Hermaphroditic connectors have a centre conductor contact which is normally spring-loaded
in the axial direction.
Flange connectors
3.1.10.2
Flange connectors have a component, normally incorporating resilient members on both ends
with or without a dielectric anchoring member, for connecting together two tubular or solid
rigid centre conductors.
3.1.10.3 Pin and socket connectors
Pin and socket connectors have a pin and socket centre conductor design, the socket or pin
of which may or may not be slotted.
3.1.11 Outer conductor connection
3.1.11.1 Hermaphroditic connectors
Hermaphroditic connectors normally have a standardized interface which is provided with a
thread for screwing on the coupling mechanism. In certain cases, alternative coupling mechanisms

Where the term "reflection coefficient" is used in this recommendation, it refers to the
properties measured on assemblies of rigid lines, fed from and terminated with their nominal
impedance.
3.1.14 Power and voltage ratings
The power rating or voltage rating of a line and connectors is that value of transmitted power
or voltage which permits satisfactory operation of the line assembly and provides an adequate
safety factor below the point where injury or appreciably shortened life will occur, as specified
in the detail specification.
3.1.15 Electrical length
3.1.15.1 Electrical length of the coaxial line
The electrical length of the coaxial line is defined as the electrical length between the butt
contacts of the outer conductor of the line.
