EN IEC 61169-69:2024

Radio-frequency connectors - Part 69: Sectional specification for RF coaxial connectors with push on mating - Characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type SMP3)

IEC 61169-69:2024, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with push-on coupling, typically for use in 50 Ω RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems, and other fields (SMP3). It specifies mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors – grade 2, dimensional details of standard test connectors-grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to series SMP3 RF connectors. This specification indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detail specification and it covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H. The SMP3 push-on coupling structure series RF coaxial connectors with the characteristic of normative impedance 50 Ω are used with various kinds of RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems, and other fields. The operating frequency limit is up to 65 GHz. NOTE Imperial dimensions are the original dimensions since this is a very miniature RF connector. There is a concern that conversion to the metric system could lead to rounding errors which can lead to performance degradation from the original imperial design. The SMPM connector was released as an imperial design for this reason. All undimensioned pictorial information is for reference only.

Connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques - Partie 69: Spécification intermédiaire relative aux connecteurs coaxiaux pour fréquences radioélectriques à accouplement par poussée - Impédance caractéristique 50 Ω (type SMP3)

L’IEC 61169-69:2024, qui est une spécification intermédiaire (SS), fournit des informations et des règles pour l’établissement de spécifications particulières (DS) relatives aux connecteurs coaxiaux pour fréquences radioélectriques à accouplement par poussée, typiquement utilisés dans des câbles pour fréquences radioélectriques de 50 Ω ou des microbandes au sein de systèmes d’hyperfréquences, de télécommunication, sans fil ou autres champs (SMP3). Elle spécifie les dimensions de la face d’accouplement pour les connecteurs à usage général (grade 2), les détails dimensionnels des connecteurs d’essai normaux (grade 0), les informations de calibrage et les essais choisis à partir de l’IEC 61169-1, qui s’appliquent à toutes les spécifications particulières relatives aux connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques de série SMP3. Cette spécification indique les caractéristiques de performance recommandées à prendre en considération pour la rédaction d’une spécification particulière et elle couvre les programmes d’essai et les exigences de contrôle pour les niveaux d’assurance M et H. Les connecteurs coaxiaux pour fréquences radioélectriques de série SMP3 avec une structure d’accouplement par poussée, et avec la caractéristique d’impédance normative de 50 Ω, sont utilisés avec différents types de câbles pour fréquences radioélectriques ou microbandes au sein de systèmes d’hyperfréquences, de télécommunication ou sans fil, ou autres champs. La limite de fréquence de fonctionnement s’étend jusqu’à 65 GHz. NOTE Les dimensions impériales sont les dimensions d’origine puisqu’il s’agit d’un connecteur RF extrêmement miniaturisé. Il est à craindre que la conversion au système métrique n’entraîne des erreurs d’arrondi pouvant dégrader les performances par rapport au modèle en dimensions impériales d’origine. C’est pour cette raison que le connecteur SMPM a été commercialisé en dimensions impériales. Toutes les informations graphiques sans dimensions sont fournies à titre de référence seulement.

Radiofrekvenčni konektorji - 69. del: Področna specifikacija za radiofrekvenčne (RF) koaksialne konektorje s potisnim osnim spajanjem - Karakteristična impedanca 50 Ohm (tip SMPM) (IEC 61169-69:2024)

Standard IEC 61169-69:2024, ki je področna specifikacija (SS), podaja informacije in pravila za pripravo podrobnih specifikacij (DS) za radiofrekvenčne (RF) koaksialne konektorje s potisnim osnim spajanjem, običajno za uporabo v 50-ohmskih kablih ali mikrotrakovih pri mikrovalovanju, telekomunikacijah, v brezžičnih omrežjih in na drugih področjih (SMP3).
Določa mere spojne površine za konektorje za splošni namen tipa 2, podrobnosti o merah standardnih preskusnih konektorjev tipa 0, informacije o merjenju in preskuse, izbrane iz standarda IEC 61169-1, ki se uporabljajo za vse podrobne specifikacije v zvezi z radiofrekvenčnimi konektorji serije SMP3.
Ta specifikacija navaja priporočene lastnosti, ki jih je treba upoštevati pri sestavljanju podrobne specifikacije, ter zajema razporede preskusov in zahteve za pregled za ravni vrednotenja M in H.
Radiofrekvenčni koaksialni konektorji serije SMP3 s potisnim osnim spajanjem s karakteristično nazivno impedanco 50 Ω se uporabljajo z različnimi vrstami radiofrekvenčnih kablov ali mikrotrakov pri mikrovalovanju, telekomunikacijah, v brezžičnih omrežjih in na drugih področjih. Omejitev frekvenčnega območja delovanja je največ 65 GHz.
OPOMBA: Izvirne mere so podane v imperialnih enotah, saj gre za zelo majhen radiofrekvenčni konektor. Obstaja zaskrbljenost, da bi lahko pretvorba v metrični sistem povzročila napake pri zaokroževanju, kar lahko privede do poslabšanja zmogljivosti glede na izvirno imperialno zasnovo. Zato ima konektor SMPM v osnovi imperialno zasnovo. Vse nedimenzionirane slikovne informacije so podane samo za referenčne namene.

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
