IEC EN 60169-11 Screw Coupled RF Coaxial Connectors with 9,5 MM (0,374 Inch) Outer Conductor Inner Diameter

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-11 test. This standard deals with RF coaxial connectors for use with both flexible and semi-rigid RF cables with an air dielectric interface and high mechanical stability to withstand severe environmental influences. The connectors provide low reflection in the microwave region up to 14 GHz and are water and air tight against a pressure difference of 3 bar.

IEC EN 60169-11 is a standard that specifies performance and testing requirements for screw terminal radio frequency coaxial connectors with an outer conductor inner diameter of 9,5 mm (0,374 inch) and a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. These connectors are commonly known as N-type connectors.

The standard provides information on the design, dimensions, materials and performance of connectors, as well as their test methods and inspection requirements. It covers the mechanical, electrical and environmental properties of connectors.

Type N connectors are commonly used in high power RF applications where frequencies up to 18 GHz are required. They are widely used in aerospace, defense and industrial applications, as well as in telecommunications systems.

The IEC EN 60169-11 standard ensures that N-type connectors meet the required quality and safety requirements and are compatible with other components in the system. Compliance with this standard is important to ensure the interoperability and reliability of type N connectors in a variety of applications.

Some key features and requirements of the IEC EN 60169-11 standard for N-type connectors include:

• Electrical performance characteristics such as impedance, frequency range, insertion loss and VSWR;
• Mechanical properties such as coupling torque, holding force and durability;
• Environmental properties such as temperature range, moisture resistance and corrosion resistance;
• Test methods and inspection requirements for verification of compliance with the standard.

Overall, the IEC EN 60169-11 standard is an important industry standard for ensuring the performance and reliability of N type connectors in high power RF applications.
