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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
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.
A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard, but made
available to the public.

IEC-PAS 61169-42 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.
The text of this PAS is based on the This PAS was approved for
following document: publication by the P-members of the
committee concerned as indicated in
the following document
Draft PAS Report on voting
46F/102/PAS 46F/113/RVD
Following publication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee
or subcommittee concerned may transform it into an International Standard.
This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of 3 years starting from the
publication date. The validity may be extended for a single 3-year period, following which it
shall be revised to become another type of normative document, or shall be withdrawn.

RADIO-FREQUENCY CONNECTORS –



Part 42: Sectional specification for CQN series

quick lock RF coaxial connectors




1 Scope


CQN series quick lock RF coaxial connectors with impedance 50 Ω are used in microwave,
telecommunication, wireless and other fields, connecting with R.F. cables or micro-strips. The
operating frequency limit is up to 11 GHz.
This PAS, which is a sectional specification, provides information and rules for the
preparation of detail specifications for CQN series R.F. coaxial 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 CQN series connectors.
This specification indicates the 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.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

3.2.2 Test procedure
Gauge A shall be inserted into the socket-centre contact three times with a minimum depth of
1,72 mm. This is a sizing operation and should only be carried out when the socket-centre
contact is removed from the connector.
After this, gauge B shall be inserted into the socket-centre contact. The contact shall retain
the mass of the gauge in a vertical downward position. The test shall also be carried out on
connector when the socket-centre contact is not removed.
Additional test:
At the conclusion of the tests and if prescribed in the DS, the force necessary to insert gauge
A shall be measured. When this additional test is required, the force required shall not exceed
9,0 N.
