BS EN IEC 61169-64:2019

What is BS EN IEC 61169-64 - Radio frequency connectors about?

BS EN IEC 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. Radiofrequency connectors are typically used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. BS EN is a sectional specification (SS), that provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications (DS) for (all parts) coaxial connectors with 0,8 mm coupling. The connectors are used with cables with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω in an operating frequency range up to 145 GHz. The connectors are widely used in communications and measurements. BS EN describes the interface dimensions for general purpose connectors with gauging information and the mandatory tests selected from , applicable to all detailed specifications relative to type 0,8 connectors. BS EN indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a DS and covers all tests schedules and inspection requirements.
