EVS-EN IEC 61169-69:2024

IEC 61169-69:2024, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with push-on coupling, typically for use in 50 Ω RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems, and other fields (SMP3).
It specifies mating face dimensions for general purpose 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 SMP3 RF connectors.
This specification 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 SMP3 push-on coupling structure series RF coaxial connectors with the characteristic of normative impedance 50 Ω are used with various kinds of RF cables or micro-strips in microwave, telecommunication, wireless systems, and other fields. The operating frequency limit is up to 65 GHz.
NOTE  Imperial dimensions are the original dimensions since this is a very miniature RF connector. There is a concern that conversion to the metric system could lead to rounding errors which can lead to performance degradation from the original imperial design. The SMPM connector was released as an imperial design for this reason. All undimensioned pictorial information is for reference only.
