RADIO-FREQUENCY CONNECTORS –

Part 51: Sectional specification for
RF coaxial connectors with inner diameter
of outer conductors 13,5 mm with bayonet lock –
Characteristic impedance 50 Ω (type QLI)

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.
International Standard IEC 61169-51 has been prepared by subcommittee 46F: R.F. and
microwave passive components, of IEC technical committee 46: Cables, wires, waveguides,
R.F. connectors, R.F. and microwave passive components and accessories.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
46F/295/FDIS 46F/310/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

For slotted outer contacts, a steel test ring (see Figure 8) with inner diameter A shall be
placed over the outer contact of the connector. The test ring shall uniformly meet the outer
contact when pushed no more than 3,05 mm over this contact.
4 Quality assessment procedures
4.1 General
Subclauses 4.2 to 4.4 provide recommended ratings, performance and test conditions to be
considered when writing a detail specification (DS). They also provide an appropriate
schedule of tests with minimum levels of conformance.
4.2 Ratings and characteristics
The values indicated below are recommended for type QLI connectors and are given for the
writer of the detail specification. They are applicable for the condition when the connectors
are fully mated.

Certain tests will usually not be required. When these tests are required, appropriate values
shall be entered in the detail specification at the discretion of the specification writer.
The connectors have a maximum working voltage of 1,4 kV at sea level.
Connection to the cable may be made either by crimping or soldering, depending upon
design.
