IEC EN 60169-7 Radio frequency connectors - Test for RF Coaxial Connectors

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60169-7 testing. It gives the dimensions of the RF coaxial connectors that can preferably be used with RF cables 96 IEC 60050-7. These connector models are for medium-power, quick-disconnect applications using a bayonet connection mechanism.

This standard specifies bayonet-lock pin and socket connectors with an inner diameter of 9,5 mm (0,374 inch) of the outer conductor. Cable mounting connectors will work properly with 3mm cables in the frequency range of at least 7 GHz and can be used at higher frequencies if a reflection coefficient of greater than 0,1 can be tolerated.

The standard defines the mechanical, electrical and environmental characteristics of the connector. Specifies dimensions, tolerances, materials, and coating requirements for connector components such as center contact, outer conductor, and insulator.

The electrical performance of the connector is also defined, including its characteristic impedance of 50 ohms and the voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR). The connector must meet these specifications to ensure reliable and efficient transmission of RF signals.

The bayonet lock mechanism is designed to allow secure and quick connection and disconnection of the connector to its mating component. This is ideal for applications where frequent connection and disconnection is required.

Environmental requirements include resistance to corrosion, vibration and temperature extremes. The connector must also be able to withstand exposure to water and other liquids without degrading its performance.

Overall, the IEC EN 60169-7 standard provides a comprehensive set of requirements for 9,5 mm (0,374 inch) outer conductor inner diameter and bayonet-lock RF coaxial connectors, ensuring compatibility and reliable performance between different manufacturers and applications.
