This part of 61169, which is a sectional specification, provides information and rules for the
preparation of detail specifications for series TMA r.f. connectors together with the pro forma
blank detail specification.
Series TMA connectors have a characteristic impedance of 50 Ω and are normally used with
R.F cables or with microstrip in microwave fields that has a blind-entry and middle low-power.
The connectors are usable up to a frequency of at least 6 GHz.
This specification also prescribes mating face dimensions for general purpose connectors,
dimensional details of standard test connectors grade 0, gauging information and tests
selected from QC 220000 (IEC 61169-1), applicable to all detail specifications relating to
series TMA 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.
