EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-12 testing. IEC EN 60169-12 is a standard that specifies the requirements for screw-coupled and unique impedance radio frequency coaxial connectors, commonly known as UHF Type connectors.
The UHF connector was originally developed by Amphenol Corporation in the 1930s for use in the radio and television broadcast industry. It is characterized by its large size, unmatched impedance and low cost, making it a popular choice for many low frequency applications.
The UHF Type connector has a nominal impedance of 50 ohms and a frequency range of up to 300 MHz. It is widely used in amateur radio, CB radio and mobile communication systems.
The IEC EN 60169-12 standard specifies the performance characteristics of UHF Type connectors, including electrical properties (such as insertion loss, voltage standing wave ratio and return loss), mechanical properties (such as coupling force, holding force and durability).
The standard also provides information on the design, dimensions and materials used, as well as test methods and inspection requirements of UHF Type connectors.
Compliance with the IEC EN 60169-12 standard is important to ensure the interoperability and compatibility of UHF Type connectors with other components in the system. It also ensures that the connectors are safe and reliable for use in a variety of applications.
Type UHF connectors are commonly used in applications where low frequency signals are transmitted and high power handling capability is required. They are also used in applications where cost is an important factor, as they are relatively inexpensive compared to other types of RF connectors.
Despite their popularity, Type UHF connectors have some limitations. They have a limited frequency range and are not well suited for high speed digital signals. Additionally, their large size and low mating forces can make them less reliable in harsh environments.
