IEC 61169-26:2013 PDF

Scope: This part of IEC 61169 which is a sectional specification (SS) provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for TNCA series RF coaxial connectors@ with characteristic impedance of 50 ??@ with threaded coupling and operating frequency limit up to 18 GHz@ used in wireless@ communication@ instrument@ antenna@ test and measurements@ radar@ and other fields@ connecting with RF cables or micro-strips. It also prescribes mating face dimensions for general 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 TNCA series connectors. This specification indicates the 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. TNCA connectors are recommended for applications above 11 GHz. TNCA connectors are compatible with TNC connectors as described in the IEC 60169-17 and IEC 60169-26 provided that the dielectric of connector with socket-centre contact does not extend beyond reference plane. However when mated with these connectors@ the performances are not ensured. NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that TNCA interface does not utilize overlapping PTFE dielectric for increased voltage breakdown resistance.
