Radio-frequency connectors - Part 49: Sectional specification for SMAA series R.F connectors (IEC 61169-49:2014)

This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS) , provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for type SMAA series thread mated coaxial
connectors.
The connectors are normally used for micro wave applications, connecting with 50 Ω RF
cables or microstrips in an operating range up to 27 GHz.
These connectors can be intermated with SMA (IEC 60169-15), 3,5 mm (IEEE 287-2007),
2,92 mm (IEC 61169-35) connectors.
It also prescribes mating face dimensions for high performance connectors grade 1,
dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, for general purpose with gauging
information and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail
specifications relative to type SMAA connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers all tests schedules and inspection requirements.
NOTE Metric dimension are original dimensions.
All undimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference purpose only.

Connecteurs pour fréquences radioélectriques - Partie 49: Spécification intermédiaire relative aux connecteurs RF série SMAA (CEI 61169-49:2014)

L'IEC 61169-49:2014 qui est une spécification intermédiaire, fournit des informations et des règles pour l'élaboration des spécifications particulières (SP) pour les connecteurs coaxiaux dotés d'un couplage fileté, de type SMAA. Ces connecteurs sont normalement utilisés pour des applications hyperfréquence, permettant une connexion avec des câbles RF à 50 Ohms ou des microrubans dans une plage de fonctionnement allant jusqu'à 27 GHz. Ces connecteurs peuvent être accouplés avec des connecteurs SMA (IEC 61169-15), de 3,5 mm (IEEE 287-2007) et de 2,92 mm (IEC 61139-35). Elle prescrit également les dimensions des zones d'accouplement pour des connecteurs haute performance de classe 1, les détails dimensionnels des connecteurs d'essai normalisés de classe 0, pour usage général avec les informations concernant les calibres et les essais obligatoires sélectionnés dans l'IEC 61169-1, applicables à toutes les spécifications particulières ayant trait aux connecteurs de type SMAA. Cette spécification indique les caractéristiques de performance recommandées à considérer lors de la rédaction d'une spécification particulière et couvre tous les programmes d'essais et les exigences de contrôle.

Part 49: Sectional specification for SMAA series R.F 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 61169-49 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:
FDIS Report on voting
46F/259/FDIS 46F/268/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 61169 series, 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,

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 type SMAA series thread mated coaxial
connectors.
The connectors are normally used for micro wave applications, connecting with 50 Ω RF
cables or microstrips in an operating range up to 27 GHz.
These connectors can be intermated with SMA (IEC 60169-15), 3,5 mm (IEEE 287-2007),
2,92 mm (IEC 61169-35) connectors.
It also prescribes mating face dimensions for high performance connectors grade 1,
dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, for general purpose with gauging
information and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail
specifications relative to type SMAA connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers all tests schedules and inspection requirements.
NOTE Metric dimension are original dimensions.
All undimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference purpose only.

4 Quality assessment procedure
4.1 General
The following 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.
4.2 Rating and characteristics (see Clause 5 of IEC 61169-1:2013)
The values indicated below are recommended for SMAA 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.
Preferred climatic categories are given in Table 6.
