This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with screw, snapon, push-pull or quick-lock, slide-in coupling (rack and panel applications) with a characterisctic impedance of 50 ohms (type 1,0/2,3) for 50 ohms and 75 ohms applications. The connectors are normally used with flexible and semi-rigid r.f. cables for low power applications in conjunction with 50 & cables in an operating frequency range up to 10 GHz or in conjunction with 75 & cables up to 2 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 IEC 61169-1, applicable to all DS relating to type 1,0/2,3 connectors. This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a DS and covers test schedules and inspection requirements.

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 61169-29 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.

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 RF coaxial connectors with screw, snap-
on, push-pull or quick-lock, slide-in coupling (rack and panel applications) with a
characterisctic impedance of 50 Ω (type 1,0/2,3) for 50 Ω and 75 Ω applications.
The connectors are normally used with flexible and semi-rigid r.f. cables for low power
applications in conjunction with 50 Ω cables in an operating frequency range up to 10 GHz or
in conjunction with 75 Ω cables up to 2 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 IEC 61169-1, applicable to all DS relating to type 1,0/2,3
connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers test schedules and inspection requirements.

3 IEC type designation
Type designations are given for each of the various coupling mechanisms:
– Screw – the coupling mechanism consists of a coupling nut (on the plug ) and a thread (on
the socket). The tightening torque is achieved by hand. The engagement and separation
force depends on the mechanical dimensions of the inner and outer contacts of the plug
and socket.
– Snap on – the coupling mechanism consists of a spring device (on the plug) that fits in a
suitable shape of the body (on the socket). The engagement and separation force
depends on the mechanical dimensions of the inner and outer contact, of the spring device
and of the socket body. The coupling mechanism does not prevent accidental
disengagements.
– Push pull or Quick lock (hereafter called push pull) – the coupling mechanism consists of
a spring device (on the plug) that fits in a suitable shape of the body (on the socket). The
engagement and separation force depends on the mechanical dimensions of the inner and
outer contact, of the spring element and of the socket body. This coupling mechanism
prevents accidental disengagements.
– Slide in – the coupling mechanism consists of a nut (on the plug) which allows a float
mounting on the panel preventing a radial misalignment. The engagement and separation
force depends on the mechanical dimensions of the inner and outer contacts of the plug
and socket. In case of rack and panel applications, the separation range of panels may
differ from the fully mated position by 1,7 mm.
Connectors conforming to this part of IEC 61169 shall be designated by:
a) the reference to this part of IEC 61169: IEC 61169-29;
b) the grade number:
Grade 0 = standard test connector = G0
Grade 2 = general purpose connector = G2
c) identification number (see Clause 8 of IEC 61169-1).

Figure 4 – Outer contact sizing and retention force gauges A and B
Test procedure:
The resilient plug outer conductor shall be inserted once only into gauge A. This is a sizing
operation.
After this, the resilient plug outer conductor shall be inserted into gauge B. The conductor
shall support the mass of the gauge in a vertical downward attitude.

5 Quality assessment procedures
5.1 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 inspection.
5.2 Ratings and characteristics
The RF connectors defined in this part of IEC 61169 are designed for use with a variety of
flexible and semi-rigid coaxial cables and in microwave integrated circuits and similar
uncabled applications.
