IEC PAS 61169-43:2010

Radio-frequency connectors - Part 43: Sectional specification for RBMA series blind mating RF coaxial connectors

IEC/PAS 61169-43:2010 provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of RBMA series blind mating RF connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general 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 RBMA series blind mating 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. RBMA series connectors with characteristic impedance 50 ohm are normally used in microwave, telecommunication, wireless and other fields, connecting with RF cables or micro-strips. The operating frequency limit is up to 12,4 GHz.

Part 43: Sectional specification for RBMA series blind
mating RF coaxial connectors

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.
A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made
available to the public.
IEC-PAS 61169-43 has been processed by subcommittee 46F: RF and microwave passive
components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, R.F. connectors,
R.F. and microwave passive components and accessories.

3.4 General requirements for connector mounting in modules and on panels
3.4.1 Limits of permissible connector radial misalignment and axial misalignment
When designing the mounting arrangements for RBMA series connectors, it is essential that
the disposition of individual pairs of connectors and their engagement is controlled within the
following general limiting conditions.
3.4.1.1 Radial misalignment
The radial misalignment between engaging connectors refers to the concentricity error
between diameter c of a connector with pin-centre contact and diameter c of a connector with
socket-centre contact at the beginning and during the engagement (see 3.1).
A rigidly mounted connector with socket-centre contact and a rigidly mounted connector with
pin-centre contact shall accept a radial misalignment within aa (0,095 mm) at the beginning
and during the engagement.

Figure 7 – A rigidly mounted connector with socket-centre contact and a rigidly
mounted connector with pin-centre contact radial misalignment limits
aa

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
– 14 – PAS 61169-43 © IEC:2010(E)
A rigidly mounted connector with socket-centre contact and float-mounted connector with pin-
centre contact shall accept a radial misalignment within bb (0,6 mm) at the beginning of the
engagement.


Figure 8 – A rigidly mounted connector with socket-centre contact and float-mounted
connector with pin-centre contact radial misalignment limits
During the engagement, the floating connector shall be able to align itself with the rigidly
mounted connector within cc (0,095 mm).


Figure 9 – A floating connector aligned with itself radial misalignment limits
3.4.1.2 Axial misalignment
a) Rigidly mounted connector with socket-centre contact and rigidly mounted connector with
pin-centre contact. To maintain the electrical and environmental performance, separation
between the two reference planes should be within dd (0,38 mm). Further separation up to
dd (0,76 mm) will degrade electrical performance and negate the environmental
performance.

In addition to details of the panel cut-out and maximum panel thickness, the detail

in both the X and Y coordinates (if different).
4 Quality assessment procedure
4.1 General
The following subclauses provide recommended rating, performance and test conditions to be
considered when writing a detail specification. They also provide an appropriate schedule of
tests with minimum levels of conformance inspection sampling, together with the pro forma
blank detail specification (BDS) and instructions for the preparation of a detail specification.

4.2 Rating and characteristics (see Clause 6 of IEC 61169-1)
The values indicated below are recommended for RBMA series RF coaxial connectors and
are given for the writer of the detail specification. They are applicable for the condition when
the connectors are fully mated.
Certain tests are listed without any recommended values being given. These tests will usually
not be required. When these tests are required, appropriate values shall be entered in the
detail specification at the discretion of the specification writer.
