scope:

This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with inner diameter of outer conductor 4,13 mm (0,163 in) with threaded coupling with a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω (type SMA).

This document specifies mating face dimensions for high performance 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 SMA 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 SMA types RF coaxial connectors are used with all kinds of RF cables and microstrips in microwave transmission systems. The operating frequency is up to 18 GHz. These connectors can be intermated with 3,5 mm (IEEE 287-2007) and 2,92 mm (IEC 61169-35) connectors.
