prBAS EN IEC 61169-10:2025

IEC 61169-10:2024, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for series SMB RF coaxial connectors with snap-on coupling with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. This document prescribes mating face dimensions for high performance connectors – grade 2, 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 SMB RF connectors. This document indicates 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. The series SMB connectors are used to connect with all kinds of RF cables and microstrips in microwave transmission systems. The operating frequency is up to 4 GHz.
