scope:

This part of IEC 61169, which 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. NOTE - Metric dimension are original dimensions. All undimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference purpose only.
