Radio-frequency connectors - Part 44: Sectional specification for series SMP push-on radio-frequency coaxial connectors

This part of IEC 61169 which is a sectional specification (SS) provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of SMP series push-on RF coaxial connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail specification. The SMP push-on series connectors with characteristic impedance of 50 O are used with RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless and other fields. The operating frequency limit is up to 40 GHz. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors - grade 1, dimensional details of standard test connectors - grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to series SMP RF connectors. This specification indicates the 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.

RADIO-FREQUENCY CONNECTORS –

Part 44: Sectional specification for series SMP
push-on radio-frequency coaxial connectors


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 61169-44 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 61169-44, published in 2010, of which it
constitutes a minor revision. The only change is that the PAS has been changed into an
International Standard.

3.2.1.1 Test procedure
The gauge A shall be inserted into the socket-centre contact three times with a minimum
depth of 1,00 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.
3.2.1.2 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

3.2.2.1.1 Test procedure
The outer contact shall be inserted into the gauge A once. This is a sizing operation.
After this, the outer contact shall be inserted into the gauge B. The outer contact shall retain
the gauge in a vertical downward direction.
3.2.2.1.2 Additional test
After the sizing and if prescribed in the DS, the force required to insert gauge A shall be
measured. This force shall not exceed 45 N.
