This part of IEC 61169, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules
for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for RF coaxial connectors with clamp coupling,
typically for use in 75 O cable networks (type F-Quick).
It describes the interface dimensions with gauging information, electrical and mechanical
performance including the mandatory tests selected from IEC 61169-1:2013, applicable to all
DS relating to type F-Quick connectors.
This specification indicates the recommended performance characteristics to be considered
when writing a DS and covers test schedules and inspection requirements.
NOTE This interface is typically used for indoor connections, which are easily disconnected and reconnected. The
typical application is for F-type coaxial receiver leads or F-type coaxial patch cables. The interface may also be
known as a Push-on connector. It is preferred to use the fixed (screwed) connectors type F according to
IEC 61169-24:2009.
