Overview

EN 50109-2-2:1995 is a CLC-adopted European standard that specifies particular requirements for hand crimping tools used in the crimp termination of cables to radio frequency (RF) connectors and concentric contacts. The standard applies to open-throat tools with removable and interchangeable dies in sizes A to G, Q to T, V and W, and covers required dimensions and operating forces for reliable RF crimp terminations. For tool style references the standard refers to clause 5.1 and table 1 - consult the full standard for exact references and values.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability: Defines which tool styles and die sizes are covered for RF connector terminations.
• Design requirements: Requirements for open-throat, hand-operated crimping tools with removable/interchangeable dies.
• Limiting dimensions: Dimensional limits for dies and crimp interfaces to ensure compatibility with RF connectors and concentric contacts.
• Operating forces: Specification of maximum allowable operating forces for hand operation to ensure repeatable, safe crimping performance.
• Interchangeability: Criteria for removable dies to ensure consistent crimp geometry across tool changes.
• Reference tables: Tool style and size mapping (see clause 5.1 and table 1 in the standard).

Applications

EN 50109-2-2 is directly applicable to:

• Production and assembly of coaxial and RF cable assemblies
• Field and workshop termination of RF connectors used in telecoms, broadcast, instrumentation, aerospace and defense
• Quality control and acceptance testing of crimped RF joints
• Specification and procurement of hand crimping tools and interchangeable dies

Using the standard helps ensure consistent electrical and mechanical performance of RF terminations, reduces rework, and supports interoperability across connector and cable systems.

Who should use this standard

• Tool manufacturers designing open-throat, removable-die crimpers
• Connector and cable manufacturers specifying termination processes
• Assembly technicians and RF engineers ensuring correct tooling and procedures
• Quality and procurement teams setting acceptance criteria for tools and assemblies
• Test laboratories validating crimp dimensions and performance

Related standards

• Other parts of the EN 50109 series (hand crimping tools for LF and RF applications)
• Manufacturer datasheets and connector specifications for matching die geometry

For exact dimensional limits, operating force values and table references, obtain the full EN 50109-2-2:1995 text. This ensures precise compliance for tool selection, production control and RF connector terminations.
