scope:

This part of 61169, which is a sectional specification, provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications for series TMA r.f. connectors together with the pro forma blank detail specification. Series TMA connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are normally used with R.F cables or with microstrip in microwave fields that has a blind-entry and middle low-power. The connectors are usable up to a frequency of at least 6 GHz. This specification also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors, dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, gauging information and tests selected from QC 220000 (IEC 61169-1), applicable to all detail specifications relating to series TMA connectors. This specification 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.
