Radio-frequency connectors - Part 41: Sectional specification for CQA series quick lock RF coaxial connectors (IEC 61169-41:2011)

CQA series quick lock connectors with characteristic impedance 50 O are used in microwave, telecommunication, wireless and other fields, connecting with RF cables or micro-strips. The operating frequency limit is up to 18 GHz. This sectional specification provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of CQA series quick lock R.F. coaxial connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail specification. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general connectors - grade 2, dimensional detail of standard test connectors - grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to CQA series RF connectors. This specification 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. CQA series connector with pin-centre contact can mate with SMA series connector with socket-centre contact, when mating with SMA series connector, an adjunct is required; the adjunct should meet the requirement of Annex A.

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.
International Standard IEC 61169-41 has been prepared by subcommittee 46F: R.F. and
microwave passive components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides,
R.F. connectors, R.F. and microwave passive components and accessories.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 61169-41, published in 2009, of which it
constitutes a minor revision. The only change is that the PAS has been changed into and
International Standard.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
46F/140/CDV 46F/164/RVC

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

The gauge A shall be inserted into the socket-centre contact three times with a minimum
depth of 1,27 mm. This is a sizing operation and should only be carried out when the socket-
centre contact is removed from the connector.
After this, the gauge B shall be inserted into socket-centre contact. The contact shall retain
the mass of the gauge in a vertical downward position. The test should 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 the additional test is required, the force required shall not exceed
13,3 N.

3.2.4 Test procedure
The gauge A shall be inserted into the outer contact three times. This is a sizing operation
and should only be carried out when the outer contact is removed from the connector.
After this, the gauge B shall be inserted into socket-centre contact. The contact shall retain
the mass of the gauge in a vertical downward position. The test should be carried out on
connector when the outer 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
25 N. This test should be carried out on connector when the outer contact is not removed.

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)
