Radio-frequency connectors - Part 58: Sectional specification for RF coaxial connectors with blind-mate coupling - Characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type SBMA) EN 61169-58:2016

Publication date:   Jan 18, 2017

Scope

IEC 61169-58:2016, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for SBMA series coaxial connectors with blind-mate coupling.
The connectors are used with cables with characteristic impedance 50 Ω in an operating frequency range up to 28 GHz. The connectors are widely used in communications, antennas, radars and other applications for modules interconnections. It is also normally used in conjunction with appropriate transmission line. It describes the interface dimensions for general purpose connectors with gauging information and the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1, applicable to all detail specifications relative to type SBMA connectors. This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a DS and covers all tests schedules and inspection requirements.
