What is BS EN 61169-38 - Radio-frequency connectors about?

BS EN 61169 is a series on radio-frequency connectors. A Radio-frequency connector is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. BS EN 61169-38 is a sectional specification, that provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications for series TMA R.F. connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. Series TMA connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are normally used with R.F cables or with microstrip in microwave fields that have a blind-entry and middle low-power. The connectors are usable up to a frequency of at least 6 GHz. BS EN 61169-38 also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors, dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from QC 220000 (), applicable to all detail specifications relating to series TMA connectors. BS EN 61169-38 indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detailed specification and BS EN 61169-38 covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.
