What is BS 9210 - Radiofrequency connector specification about?
BS 9210 discusses specifications for radio frequency connectors of assessed quality. A radiofrequency connector is an electrical connector designed to work at radio frequencies in the multi-megahertz range. BS 9210 specifies the test procedures and other general requirements and gives information relating to radiofrequency (r.f.) connectors and accessories.
For low frequency (l.f.) connectors, and for hybrid connectors containing radiofrequency contacts, reference should be made to BS 9520. The rules for the preparation of detailed specifications for use by the BSI Technical Committees or component manufacturers are given in BS 9210.
Who is BS 9210 - Radiofrequency connector specification for?
BS 9210 on the radiofrequency connector specification is useful for:
- Telecommunication component manufacturers
- Telecommunication equipment manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS 9210 - Radiofrequency connector specification?
Radiofrequency connectors are typically used with coaxial cables and are designed to maintain the shielding that the coaxial design offers. The purpose of BS 9210 is to indicate the manner in which the information contained in the generic specification shall be incorporated into the individual detail specifications. In addition, it specifies the mandatory tests which are required for basic assessment level and full assessment level together with recommended AQLs and inspection levels. If detail specifications specify additional assessment levels, they contain tests in addition to the mandatory requirements for full or basic assessment levels as appropriate.
The object of BS 9210 is to describe a particular type of radiofrequency connector and its accessories in such a manner that the physical, electrical, and mechanical parameters are fully defined. BS 9210 also state the tests which are necessary to determine that the radiofrequency connector and its accessories comply with these parameters and the subsequent inspection procedures which are to be adopted to ensure that the item continues to comply with the original standard. Using BS 9210 you can specify the test procedures and other general requirements and gives information relating to radiofrequency connectors and accessories.
