EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-21 testing. Standardizes the interface and ratings of two versions of a medium RF connector for use with flexible and semi-rigid cables. The connectors are recommended for use in medium power and low reflection applications up to 11 GHz. The dielectric filled interface is particularly useful in applications involving severe environmental exposure. Both versions of this connector type are screw versions of the Type-C connector.
IEC EN 60169-21 is a standard that specifies requirements for two types of radio frequency (RF) coaxial connectors with an outer conductor inner diameter of 9,5 mm (0,374 inch) and a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The two types of connectors have different versions of screw connection mechanisms.
The first type, Type 1, has a 1 1/8-18 UNEF-2A threaded screw joint, while the second type, Type 2, has a 7/16-28 UNEF-2A threaded screw joint. Both types of connectors are commonly used in high-frequency applications such as telecommunications, broadcast and radar systems.
The standard defines the dimensions, mechanical requirements, and electrical properties of connectors, including frequency range, voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR), and insertion loss. It also specifies materials and coating requirements for various connector parts.
Two versions of the screw coupling mechanisms used in these connectors provide a secure and reliable connection, and the characteristic impedance of 50 ohms ensures compatibility with other 50 ohm RF components. This ensures efficient signal transmission and reduces the risk of signal reflection or loss.
In general, IEC EN 60169-21 is an important standard for ensuring the performance and compatibility of two types of RF coaxial connectors with an inner diameter of 9,5 mm (0,374 inch) outer conductor, with different screw connection versions in various hi-tech. frequency applications
