Radio-frequency connectors - Part 18: Sectional specification - Radio frequency coaxial connectors of type SSMA (IEC 61169-18:2011)

SSMA series connectors with characteristic impedance 50 Ω are used for millimeter wave applications, connecting with RF cables or micro strips. The operating frequency limit is up to 35 GHz. The coupling thread is 10-36 UNS thread.
This sectional specification provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of SSMA series R.F connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail specification.
It also prescribes mating face dimensions for grade 1 high performance connectors, dimensional detail of grade 0 standard test connectors, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to SSMA 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.

Connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques - Partie 18: Spécification intermédiaire - Connecteurs coaxiaux pour fréquences radioélectriques de type SSMA (CEI 61169-18:2011)

La CEI 61169-18:2011 est une spécification intermédiaire et fournit des informations et des règles en vue de l'établissement de la spécification particulière des connecteurs RF série SSMA, ainsi que la spécification particulière cadre pro-forma. Elle prescrit également les dimensions des faces d'accouplement pour des connecteurs de classe 1 haute performance, les détails dimensionnels des connecteurs d'essai normalisés de classe 0, les informations concernant les calibres, et les essais choisis dans la CEI 61169-1 applicables à toutes les spécifications particulières ayant trait aux connecteurs RF série SSMA. Les connecteurs série SSMA d'impédance caractéristique 50 ohm sont utilisés pour des applications à ondes millimétriques, et sont prévus pour être connectés avec des câbles RF ou des microrubans. La limite de fréquence de fonctionnement est inférieure ou égale à 35 GHz. Le filetage de couplage est le filet UNS 10-36. La présente spécification indique les caractéristiques de performance recommandées à prendre en compte pour la rédaction d'une spécification particulière et elle couvre les programmes d'essais et les exigences de contrôle pour les niveaux d'assurance qualité M  et H. Elle annule et remplace la CEI/PAS 61169-18, publiée en 2009, dont elle constitue une révision mineure. Le seul changement entre le PAS et la présente norme est la suppression des dimensions en inch pour chacune des figures.

RADIO-FREQUENCY CONNECTORS –

Part 18: Sectional specification –
Radio frequency coaxial connectors of type SSMA


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.
International Standard IEC 61169-18 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 61169-18, published in 2009, of which it
constitutes a minor revision. The only change between the PAS and this standard is the
removal of inch dimensions for each of the figures.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
46F/136/CDV 46F/162/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 French version of this standard has not been voted upon.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61169 series, published under the general title Radio-frequency
connectors, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct

NOTE 1 The diameters are chosen upon the
assumption that the PTFE dielectric has a
dielectric constant of 2,02 to give an impedance of
50 Ω ± 0,5 Ω.
NOTE 2 Design for slotting is optional, and
should meet electrical and mechanical
requirements, when mating with Ø0,495 mm to Ø
0,528 mm pin.

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 Standard ratings and characteristics (see Clause 6 of IEC 61169-1)
The values indicated below are recommended for SSMA series RF 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 are listed without any recommended values being given. These 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.
