scope:

This part of IEC 63138, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for MQ5 series circular connectors with five RF channels, as well as a detailed specification of the blank format.

An MQ5 series circular connector with 50 Ω nominal impedance has five RF channels that can be engaged and disengaged at the same time. There are two versions of plug connectors, one is a quick-lock version, and the other is a threaded version. The socket connector provides two coupling mechanisms, a quick-lock and a threaded coupling.

MQ5 series circular connectors can be used in mobile communication systems and in other communication equipment.

This document also specifies the mating face dimensions and gauging information of MQ5 series circular connectors, and tests selected from IEC 63138-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to MQ5 series circular connectors.
