IEC 61169-41:2011

Radio-frequency connectors - Part 41: Sectional specification for CQA series quick lock R.F. coaxial connectors

IEC 61169-41:2011 provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of CQA series quick lock R.F. coaxial connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail specification. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general connectors - grade 2, dimensional detail of standard test connectors - grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to CQA series RF connectors. 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 61169-41, published in 2009, of which it constitutes a minor revision. The only change is that the PAS has been changed into and International Standard. The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.

Connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques - Partie 41: Spécification intermédiaire pour connecteurs coaxiaux R.F. à verrouillage rapide, série CQA

La CEI 61169-41:2011 est une spécification intermédiaire. Elle fournit des informations et des règles en vue de l'établissement de spécifications particulières de connecteurs coaxiaux R.F. à verrouillage rapide, série CQA, ainsi que la spécification particulière cadre pro-forma. Elle prescrit également les dimensions des faces d'accouplement pour des connecteurs d'usage général - classe 2, les détails dimensionnels des connecteurs d'essai normalisés - 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 CQA. Elle 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 61169-41, publiée 2009, dont elle constitue une révision mineure. Le seul changement est que le PAS a été changé en Norme internationale. La version française de cette norme n'a pas été soumise au vote.

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
