scope:

Series SMP push-on connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 O and are used with RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless and other fields. The connectors are usable up to a frequency of 40 GHz. This PAS provides information and rules for preparation of detail specification of SMP series push-on RF coaxial connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors - grade 1, 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 SMP RF connectors. This PAS indicates the 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.
