Radio-frequency connectors - Part 61: Sectional specification for RF coaxial connectors with 9,5 mm inner diameter of outer conductor, quick lock coupling, series Q4.1-9.5 (IEC 61169-61:2020)

This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for coaxial connectors with a 9,5 mm inner
diameter of the outer conductor and quick lock coupling mechanism, characteristic impedance
50 Ω and an operating frequency of up to 8,5 GHz. Series Q4.1-9.5 connectors with socket
centre contact are compatible with threaded 4,1-9,5 series (specified in IEC 60169-11)
connectors with pin centre contact. This type of connectors are starting to be applied in
telecommunication systems due to their special features which are suitable for outdoor harsh
requirements, such as quick and reliable coupling, compatible with threaded connector and
being entirely waterproof.
This document specifies mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors – grade 2,
dimensional details of standard test connectors – grade 0, gauge information and test
requirements, product ratings and characteristics, tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable
to all detail specifications relating to Q4.1-9.5 series RF coaxial connectors.
Annex A specifies the outline dimensions of connectors and protective sleeves, which could
bring interchangeability between pairs of connectors and protective sleeves from different
manufacturers.
This document indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a detail specification and covers test schedules and inspection requirements for
assessment levels M and H.
NOTE Metric dimensions are original dimensions. All undimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference
purposes only.

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.

4.2.2.2 Test procedure
Test procedure is as follows.
a) Sizing test
The gauge A should be inserted in the outer contact three times, this is a sizing operation.
b) Insertion test
Following the sizing operation, if specified in the detail specification, the force necessary
to insert Gauge B fully into the outer contact shall be measured. When this test is required,
the insertion force shall not exceed 35 N.
c) Retention test
After sizing or insertion test, the gauge C shall be inserted into the outer contact. The
contact shall retain the mass of the gauge C in a vertical downward position. When this
test is required, the retention force shall be not less than 4 N.
