EN 61169-18:2011

Radio-frequency connectors - Part 18: Sectional specification - Radio frequency coaxial connectors of type SSMA

IEC 61169-18:2011 is a sectional specification and provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of SSMA series RF connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail specification. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for grade 1 high performance connectors, dimensional detail of grade 0 standard test connectors, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to SSMA series RF connectors. SSMA series connectors with characteristic impedance 50 ohm are used for millimeter wave applications, connecting with RF cables or micro strips. The operating frequency limit is up to 35 GHz. The coupling thread is 10-36 UNS thread. It 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. It cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 61169-18, published in 2009, of which it constitutes a minor revision. The only change between the PAS and this standard is the removal of inch dimensions for each of the figures.

Connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques – Partie 18: Spécification intermédiaire – Connecteurs coaxiaux pour fréquences radioélectriques de type SSMA

La CEI 61169-18:2011 est une spécification intermédiaire et fournit des informations et des règles en vue de l'établissement de la spécification particulière des connecteurs RF série SSMA, ainsi que la spécification particulière cadre pro-forma. Elle prescrit également les dimensions des faces d'accouplement pour des connecteurs de classe 1 haute performance, les détails dimensionnels des connecteurs d'essai normalisés de classe 0, les informations concernant les calibres, et les essais choisis dans la CEI 61169-1 applicables à toutes les spécifications particulières ayant trait aux connecteurs RF série SSMA. Les connecteurs série SSMA d'impédance caractéristique 50 ohm sont utilisés pour des applications à ondes millimétriques, et sont prévus pour être connectés avec des câbles RF ou des microrubans. La limite de fréquence de fonctionnement est inférieure ou égale à 35 GHz. Le filetage de couplage est le filet UNS 10-36. La présente spécification indique les caractéristiques de performance recommandées à prendre en compte pour la rédaction d'une spécification particulière et elle couvre les programmes d'essais et les exigences de contrôle pour les niveaux d'assurance qualité M et H. Elle annule et remplace la CEI/PAS 61169-18, publiée en 2009, dont elle constitue une révision mineure. Le seul changement entre le PAS et la présente norme est la suppression des dimensions en inch pour chacune des figures.

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.
