This PAS is a sectional specification providing information and rules for preparation of detail
specification of SSMA series R.F connectors together with the pro forma blank detail
specification.
SSMA series connectors with characteristic impedance 50 Ω are used for millimeter wave
applications, connecting with RF cables or micro strips. The operating frequency limit is up to
35 GHz. The coupling thread is 10-36 UNS thread.
It also prescribes mating face dimensions for grade 1 high performance connectors,
dimensional detail of grade 0 standard test connectors, gauging information and tests
selected from IEC 61169-1 applicable to all detail specifications relating to SSMA series 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.
