Description (English):

IEC 61169-47:2015, 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 Ω 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. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. It constitutes a technical revision. The main changes are listed below: - Subclause 3.2 has been updated to better define gauging. - Table 2 has been updated for insertion and removal forces. - Clause 4 has been updated to refer to the new edition of IEC 61169-1.

Abstract

Overview

IEC 61169-47:2015 is a sectional specification for radio-frequency (RF) coaxial connectors with clamp (push‑on) coupling, typically the F‑Quick variant used in 75 Ω cable networks. This second edition (2015) replaces the 2012 edition and provides rules for preparing detail specifications (DS) for type F‑Quick connectors - covering interface dimensions, gauging, electrical and mechanical performance, mandatory tests (as selected from IEC 61169‑1), test schedules and inspection requirements.

Key topics and technical requirements

Interface dimensions and examples: common and specific dimensional data for F‑Quick male plugs, including variants with resilient outer conductor sleeves, slotted outer conductors and snap rings.
- Example key dimensions (Table 1): inner conductor length A = 6.35–8.63 mm, inner conductor diameter D = 0.64–1.13 mm, reference plane opening F = 6.84 mm, reference plane outer diameter G = 7.11 mm, maximum envelope C ≈ 16.61 mm.
Mechanical gauging: defined gauges and tolerances to ensure interchangeability and correct fit with port threads and bulkhead dimensions.
Insertion and withdrawal forces: specific requirements for outer conductor gauge use - insertion force ≤ 35 N, withdrawal force ≥ 15 N (see Table 2 / Figure 5).
Electrical and mechanical performance: recommended characteristics and mandatory performance selection drawn from IEC 61169‑1 (general measuring methods and tests).
Quality assessment & test schedules: acceptance and periodic tests, environmental characteristics (including outdoor socket considerations), inspection and quality conformance procedures.
Preparation of detail specifications (DS): guidance and a blank DS pro‑forma to help manufacturers and standards authors produce consistent product specifications.

Practical applications and users

Typical use: indoor F‑type coaxial receiver leads, patch cables and push‑on connections in cable TV, satellite and broadband distribution.
Who uses this standard:
- Connector and cable design engineers and manufacturers
- Test laboratories and quality assurance teams performing conformance testing
- Procurement, compliance and certification bodies specifying DS for supply contracts
- System integrators and installers wanting interoperability and reliable mechanical/electrical performance
Practical benefits: ensures interchangeability, repeatable mechanical fit and predictable electrical behavior across suppliers; reduces field failures and simplifies test/inspection plans.

Related standards

IEC 61169‑1:2013 - Generic specification; general requirements and measuring methods (mandatory test selection).
IEC 61169‑24:2009 - Sectional specification for screw‑coupled F connectors (recommended where fixed/screwed coupling is preferred).
IEC 62037 (and IEC 62037‑3) - Passive RF and microwave devices, intermodulation measurement methods.

IEC 61169‑47 is essential for anyone specifying, designing or testing F‑Quick RF coaxial connectors in 75 Ω cable networks to ensure mechanical compatibility and defined performance.
