Flanges for waveguides - Part 1: General requirements

IEC 60154-1:2016 specifies the dimensions of waveguide flanges for use in electronic equipment. It covers requirements for flanges drilled before or after mounting on waveguides. It should be noted that for optimum electrical performance, post-drilling of the alignment holes after mounting is recommended. The aim of this standard is to specify for waveguide flanges the mechanical requirements necessary to ensure compatibility and, as far as practicable, interchangeability as well as to ensure adequate electrical performance.

Flansche für Hohlleiter - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen

Brides pour guides d'ondes - Partie 1: Exigences générales

L'IEC 60154-1:2016 spécifie les dimensions des brides pour guides d'ondes utilisés dans les équipements électroniques. Elle couvre les exigences applicables aux brides percées avant ou après montage sur les guides d'ondes. Il convient de noter que, pour garantir des performances électriques optimales, il est recommandé de percer les trous d'alignement après le montage. La présente norme a pour but de spécifier les exigences mécaniques applicables aux brides de guides d'ondes qui sont nécessaires pour assurer la compatibilité et, autant que possible, l'interchangeabilité, mais aussi pour assurer des performances électriques suffisantes.

Prirobnice za valovode - 1. del: Splošne zahteve (IEC 60154-1:2016)

Ta del standarda IEC 60154 določa mere prirobnic za valovode, ki se uporabljajo v elektronski opremi.
Zajema zahteve za prirobnice, izvrtane pred ali po namestitvi na valovode. Opozoriti je treba, da je za optimalno električno zmogljivost priporočljivo vrtanje poravnalnih odprtin po namestitvi.
Cilj tega standarda je določiti mehanske zahteve, potrebne za zagotovitev združljivosti in, v največji možni meri, medsebojne zamenljivosti ter ustrezne električne zmogljivosti za prirobnice valovodov.

FLANGES FOR WAVEGUIDES –
Part 1: General requirements
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.
International Standard IEC 60154-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 46F: RF and
microwave passive components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides,
RF connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 1982. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) define the alignment pin and hole for waveguide alignment;
b) specify the dimensions in the metric system.

CDV Report on voting
46F/304/CDV 46F/318/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 60154 series, published under the general title Flanges for
waveguides, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
This International Standard relates to straight hollow metallic tubing for use as waveguides in
electronic equipment. In recent years, the operation frequency of waveguide components and
systems has been extended to 1 THz and above. However, the IEC 60154 series of standards
for flanges for waveguides, currently specifies the interface design up to 40 GHz for
rectangular waveguides. In addition to this, the current issues of the IEC 60154 series of
standards were issued in the 1970’s and do not meet the needs of current applications. This
new edition of IEC 60154-1 addresses these two issues.
