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.
This sectional specification provides information and rules for preparation of detail
specification of SSMA series R.F connectors together with the pro-forma blank detail
specification.
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.
