Overview
EN IEC 61169-64:2025 is a sectional specification for RF coaxial connectors with a 0.8 mm inner diameter of the outer conductor and characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type 0,8). Prepared as part of the IEC 61169 series, this standard guides the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for screw‑coupled type 0,8 connectors used in telecommunications and test & measurement systems up to 145 GHz. The 2025 edition is a technical revision that updates mating face geometry, gauging, test schedules and quality assessment requirements.
Key Topics
- Scope and purpose
- Sectional specification (SS) to support creation of detail specifications for type 0,8 RF coaxial connectors.
- Mating face dimensions
- Defines dimensions for high performance connectors (grade 1) and standard test connectors (grade 0), including true‑to‑scale figures and an updated datum system for tolerances.
- Gauging and gauge pins
- Provides corrected gauge pin dimensions and test procedures for socket centre contacts and gauging methods.
- Tests and inspection
- Selects applicable tests from IEC 61169-1 and specifies test schedules and inspection requirements for assessment levels M and H.
- Performance characteristics
- Recommends ratings and characteristics to include in detail specifications (see Table 6 in the standard).
- Quality assessment and detail spec preparation
- Simplified clauses on quality assessment, DS preparation and marking by reference to IEC 61169‑1; includes a blank DS pro‑forma and marking/packaging guidance.
- Technical updates
- Alignment of mating face dimensions and characteristics with IEEE 287.1‑2021 and IEEE 287.3‑2021 precision 0.8 mm connector standards; optional coupling nut design introduced.
Applications
- Who uses this standard
- Connector manufacturers, design engineers, test laboratories, calibration and metrology labs, procurement/specification writers, and quality/conformity assessors.
- Typical uses
- Designing and specifying precision 0.8 mm, 50 Ω RF connectors for high‑frequency telecom equipment, millimeter‑wave test adapters, vector network analyzer (VNA) test fixtures, and high‑performance interconnects in R&D and production environments.
Related Standards
- IEC 61169‑1:2013 – Generic specification (referenced for tests and generic requirements)
- IEC 61169 series – Other connector parts
- IEEE 287.1‑2021 and IEEE 287.3‑2021 – Precision 0.8 mm connector alignment and characteristics

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 61169-64 has been prepared by subcommittee 46F: RF and microwave passive
components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides, RF connectors, RF
and microwave passive components and accessories. It is an International Standard.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2019. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) upgrading of the inferior connector class to a grade 1 "high performance connector";
b) alignment of the mating face dimensions as well as the ratings and characteristics with the
precision 0,8 mm connectors specified in the IEEE 287.1-2021 and IEEE 287.3-2021
standards;
IEC 61169-64:2025 © IEC 2025
c) figures: true-to-scale design; change of datum system for tolerances; introduction of an
additional dimension;
d) gauge pins: correction of dimensions and test procedures;
e) simplification of the clauses on quality assessment (Clause 5), preparation of a detail
specification (Clause 6), and marking (Clause 7) by making direct reference to the generic
specification IEC 61169-1;
f) introduction of an optional design for the coupling nut.
