BS EN 60512-25-7:2005

What is BS EN 60512-25-7 - Assessing the impedance, reflection coefficient, and VSWR of connectors about? 

Electrical connectors are used to join electrical conductors to create an electrical circuit. Cable assemblies are designed for simple point to point connections and complex multi-function configurations. BS EN 60512-25-7 applies to interconnect assemblies, such as electrical connectors and cable assemblies, within the scope of IEC technical committee 48. BS EN 60512-25-7 describes test methods to measure impedance, reflection coefficient, and VSWR in the time and frequency domains.

Note: These test methods in BS EN 60512-25-7 are written for test professionals who are knowledgeable in the electronics field and are trained to use the referenced equipment. Because the measurement values are heavily influenced by the fixturing and equipment, the methods in BS EN 60512-25-7 cannot describe all of the possible combinations.

Who is BS EN 60512-25-7 - Assessing the impedance, reflection coefficient, and VSWR of connectors for? 

BS EN 60512-25-7 on assessing the impedance, reflection coefficient, and VSWR of connectors is useful for: 

• Manufacturers of electronic devices
