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.
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.
International Standard IEC 61169-4 has been prepared 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.
This standard cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 61169-4 published in 2006. This first edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for type 7-16 R.F. coaxial connectors with

The connectors are normally used with 50 Ω flexible and semi-rigid r.f. cables for middle
power applications in an operating frequency range up to 7,5 GHz.
It describes the interface dimensions for general purpose grade 2 connectors, dimensional
details for standard test connectors, grade 0, together with gauging information and the
mandatory tests selected from QC 22000 (IEC 61169-1), applicable to all DS relating to type
7-16 connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers test schedules and inspection requirements.

4 Quality assessment procedures
4.1 General
The following subclauses provide recommended ratings, performance and test conditions to
be considered when writing a detail specification (DS). They also provide an appropriate
schedule of tests with minimum levels of conformance
4.2 Ratings and characteristics
The values indicated below are recommended for type 7-16 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 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.

The connectors have a maximum working voltage of 4 k V at sea level (350 V at 44 mbar/
20 000 m altitude). Connection to the cable may be made either by crimping or soldering,
depending upon design.
NOTE 2 All voltages specified in this standard are r.m.s. values of a.c. voltages. All test voltages are a.c.
voltages of 50 Hz to 60 Hz.
NOTE 3 For details of symbols, abbreviations and procedures, see 7.3.2.

NOTES
1)
These values apply to basic connectors. They depend on the cable used. Relevant values are given in the DS.
2)
Voltage values are r.m.s. values at 50 Hz to 60 Hz, unless otherwise specified.
3)
Cables used with these connectors may have values of lower performance than those given in this table.
4)
For certain connectors the upper temperature limit is restricted by the cable characteristics. Reference should be
made to the relevant cable specification.
