Radio-frequency connectors - Part 38: Sectional specification - Radio frequency coaxial connectors model, slide-in (rack and panel applications) - Characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type TMA) - 50 Ω applications
IEC 61169-38:2008 which is a sectional specification, provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications for series TMA r.f. connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. Series TMA connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are normally used with R.F cables or with microstrip in microwave fields that has a blind-entry and middle low-power. The connectors are usable up to a frequency of at least 6 GHz.

La CEI 61169-38:2008 est une spécification intermédiaire (SS: Sectional Specification). Elle fournit des informations et des règles pour la préparation de spécifications particulières (DS: Detail Specification) pour les connecteurs RF de type TMA en série et le modèle pro-forma de la spécification particulière cadre. Les connecteurs de type TMA en série ont une impédance caractéristique de 50 Ω et sont normalement utilisés avec des câbles RF ou avec un micro-ruban dans des champs hyperfréquences ayant une entrée aveugle et une puissance basse moyenne. Les connecteurs peuvent être utilisés jusqu'à une fréquence pouvant atteindre au moins 6 GHz. La présente spécification prescrit également les dimensions des faces d'accouplement pour des connecteurs d'usage général, des informations détaillées sur les dimensions de connecteurs d'essais normalisés (catégorie 0), des informations sur les calibres et des essais choisis dans la norme QC 220000 (CEI 61169-1), applicables à toutes les spécifications particulières portant sur des connecteurs de type TMA en série. La présente spécification indique les caractéristiques de performance recommandées à prendre en considération pour rédiger une spécification particulière et elle porte sur des programmes d'essais et des exigences d'inspection pour les niveaux d'assurance M et H.

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.

This part of 61169, which is a sectional specification, provides information and rules for the
preparation of detail specifications for series TMA r.f. connectors together with the pro forma
blank detail specification.
Series TMA connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are normally used with
R.F cables or with microstrip in microwave fields that has a blind-entry and middle low-power.
The connectors are usable up to a frequency of at least 6 GHz.
This specification also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors,
dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, gauging information and tests
selected from QC 220000 (IEC 61169-1), applicable to all detail specifications relating to
series TMA 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
