EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-16 testing. It relates to pin and socket RF coaxial connectors with screw connection mechanism for low to medium power applications. Three versions of this connector commonly known as 'Type N' are included and each version can be paired with the others.
IEC EN 60169-16 is a standard for radio frequency connectors that specifies the design and performance requirements for coaxial connectors and screw connection with an inner diameter of 7 mm (0,276 inch) of the outer conductor. The connectors covered by this standard have a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms or 75 ohms and are known as Type N connectors.
The standard provides details on connectors' sizes, materials, and performance requirements, including their electrical and mechanical properties. Type N connector is a threaded connector commonly used in coaxial cable systems, especially in high power applications.
IEC EN 60169-16 specifies the test methods and procedures that must be used to evaluate the performance of connectors, including insertion loss, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and endurance tests. The standard also contains information on the interpenetration of Type N connectors with other connectors.
Type N connector is widely used in applications such as telecommunications, broadcasting and military equipment. The 50 ohm version is commonly used in RF and microwave systems, while the 75 ohm version is frequently used in video and digital communications applications.
In general, the IEC EN 60169-16 standard provides a comprehensive set of specifications for coaxial connectors and screw connection with an inner diameter of 7 mm (0,276 inch) of the outer conductor, making it a valuable resource for manufacturers, engineers and others.
