This standard concerns r.f. coaxial connectors for use with air dielectric interface and high mechanical stability to withstand severe environmental exposure. The connectors provide low reflection in the microwave region up to 14 GHz and they are water and air-tight against a pressure difference of 3 bar.
For this type of connector, cables 96-2 IEC 50-7-1/2/3/4 and 6 of IEC 96-2 Radio-frequency Cables Part 2 : Relevant Cable Specifications, are recommended.
This type is known commercially as the 4.1/9.5 connector.
Also prescribes IEC type designation, ratings, preferred climatic categories, dimensions, gauges and standard test connectors, survey of patterns, outline dimensions, schedule for type tests
