This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for series BMP RF coaxial connectors with
blind mating, typically for use in 50 Ω board to board connection. They may also be used with
RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless and other fields. Their
operating frequency limit is up to 6 GHz.
It describes the interface dimensions with gauging information, electrical and mechanical
performance including the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1:2013 applicable to all
DS relating to type BMP 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 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 61169-48 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.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

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

3.4 General requirements for connector mounting on PCB
3.4.1 General
The typical mounting style of connectors are shown in Figure 9.
For two PCB applications, all the full detent sides of adapters should be in one same PCB and
the smooth bore sides of adapters should be in the other PCB when connecting.

3.4.2 Maximum permitting deflexion
When mating, the maximum permitting deflexion of the adapter as shown in Figure 9a) is 3°.
3.4.3 Maximum permitting axial clearance
When mating, the maximum permitting axial clearance between two boards is ±0,3 mm.
IECII IEC

a) Connecting range b) Working range
NOTE
C is the distance between two PCBs.
The axial working clearance range depends on the interface of BMP.
The radial working range depends on the length of the adapter, longer adapter gets bigger radial working range.
The connecting range depends on the length of the adapter and the chamfer range.

4 Quality assessment procedure
4.1 General
Clause 10 of IEC 61169-1:2013 apply to this sectional specification, except following
requirement. Subclauses 4.2 to 4.4 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.
