BS EN 61169-52:2015

What is BS EN 61169-52-Sectional specification for MMCX RF coaxial connectors about?  

BS EN 61169 is a European standard on radio-frequency connectors that discusses the sectional specification for MMCX RF coaxial connectors to assist in decision making and improve the validity of an evaluation. 

BS EN 61169-52 is the fifty-second part of a multi-part series, which is a sectional specification (SS), that provides information and rules for the preparation of detailed specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with snap-on coupling, typically for use in 50 Ω cable networks (MMCX). 

BS EN 61169-52 prescribes 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 MMCX RF connectors. The specification under BS EN 61169-52 indicates recommended performance characteristics to be considered when writing a detailed specification and covers test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.  

Note: Metric dimensions are original dimensions. All un-dimensioned pictorial configurations are for reference purposes only. 

Who is BS EN 61169-52-Sectional specification for MMCX RF coaxial connectors for? 

BS EN 61169-52 on the sectional specification for MMCX RF coaxial connectors is useful for: 

• MMCX RF coaxial connector manufacturers 
• MMCX RF coaxial connector designers 
• MMCX RF coaxial connector test personnel 
• Quality assurance departments 

Why should you use BS EN 61169-52-Sectional specification for MMCX RF coaxial connectors?  

Micro-miniature coaxial (MMCX) connectors are coaxial RF connectors like MCX but smaller. The connectors have a lock-snap mechanism allowing 360-degree rotation and usually have a 50 Ω impedance. 

BS EN 61169-52 provides you with mating face and gauge information, connector with socket centre contact, dimensions of the connector with socket centre contact, dimensions of gauge pin for socket centre contact, rating and characteristics, blank detail specification Pro-forma for type MMCX connector, test schedule and inspection requirements, and much more. 

The sectional specifications and characteristics provided by BS EN 61169-52 provide a description and statement of the requirements and assist in improving the performance of the MMCX RF coaxial connectors and reflect the connector behaviour.  

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 61169-52, you can enhance the efficacy of the MMCX RF coaxial connectors and manufacture a standardized product of high quality.
