DIN EN IEC 61169-17:2024-02

This part of IEC 61169 is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for series TNC RF coaxial connectors with threaded coupling with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω. This document prescribes mating face dimensions for high performance connectors - grade 2, dimensional details of standard test connectors - grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to series TNC RF connectors. This document indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detail specification and it covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H. The series TNC connectors which are used with all kinds of RF cables and microstrips in microwave transmission systems. The operating frequency is up to 11 GHz. This sectional specification defines which characteristic values (electrical, mechanical and environmental test values, design values or features) are to be specified in the detail specification. Superordinate values are included. For this purpose, the reference to the relevant IEC standard is given and a blank detail specification is provided. There are no restrictions in the scope of the document. This document increases investment security for manufacturers and users through its application and provides test laboratories and manufacturers with defined specifications for testing and ensures compatibility across manufacturers.
