This standard concerns RF coaxial connectors for use with RF cables both flexible and semirigid,
where air dielectric interface and high mechanical stability is required for severe
environmental exposure. The connectors provide low reflection in the microwave region up to
12 GHz and all patterns may provide sealing up to a pressure differential of 3 bar.
For this type of connector, cables IEC 75-7-and 75-8 of IEC 61196-6: Coaxial communication
cables – Part 6: Sectional specification for CATV drop cables, are recommended.
This type is known commercially as the 3,5/12 connector.
