Passive RF and microwave devices, intermodulation level measurement - Part 3: Measurement of passive intermodulation in coaxial connectors
This part of IEC 62037 defines the impact test on coaxial connectors to evaluate their robustness against weak connections and particles inside the connector, as independently as possible from the effects of cable PIM (passive intermodulation). For other connectors (e.g. panel mounted connectors), the cable can be replaced by an adequate transmission-line (e.g. airline, stripline). In order to evaluate the effects of mechanical stresses on the connectors, a series of impacts is applied to the connectors while measuring the PIM.

IEC 62037-3:2021 est disponible sous forme de IEC 62037-3:2021 RLV qui contient la Norme internationale et sa version Redline, illustrant les modifications du contenu technique depuis l'édition précédente. L'IEC 62037-3:2021 définit l’essai de choc sur des connecteurs coaxiaux pour évaluer leur robustesse dans le cas de connexions faibles et de particules à l’intérieur des connecteurs, aussi indépendamment que possible des effets de l’intermodulation passive des câbles. Pour les autres connecteurs (par exemple les connecteurs montés sur panneaux), le câble peut être remplacé par une ligne de transmission adéquate (par exemple une ligne à air, une ligne à ruban). Afin d’évaluer les effets des contraintes mécaniques sur les connecteurs, une série de chocs est appliquée aux connecteurs, tout en mesurant l’intermodulation passive. Cette seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2012. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l’édition précédente: a. modification de la méthode d’impact pour utiliser une bille en acier plutôt qu’une tige en laiton; b. ajout de l’énergie de choc exigée pour soumettre à l’essai chaque type de connecteur; c. ajout de la méthode pour calculer l’énergie de choc pour les types de connecteurs non répertoriés dans le document.
Pasivne radiofrekvenčne (RF) in mikrovalovne naprave, meritve intermodulacijskega nivoja - 3. del: Meritve pasivne intermodulacije v koaksialnih konektorjih (IEC 62037-3:2021)
Ta del standarda IEC 62037 določa preskus vpliva na koaksialne konektorje za ugotavljanje njihove trdnosti v primerjavi s šibkimi povezavami in delci v konektorju, čim bolj neodvisno od učinkov kabla PIM (pasivna intermodulacija). Pri drugih konektorjih (npr. konektorji za panelno vgradnjo) je kabel mogoče nadomestiti z ustreznim prenosnim daljnovodom (npr. zračni vod, ploščati valovod). Za ocenjevanje učinkov mehanskih vplivov na konektorje se med merjenjem pasivne intermodulacije uporablja skupina vplivov.

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.
IEC 62037-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF
connectors, RF and microwave passive components and accessories. It is an International
Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) impact method changed to utilize a steel ball rather than a brass rod;
b) impact energy required to test each connector type added;
c) method added to calculate impact energy for connector types not listed in the document.

The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/standardsdev/publications.
