Performance Specification for Automotive RF Connector Systems USCAR17-2

1. Procedures included within this specification are intended to cover performance testing at all phases of development, production, and field analysis of electrical terminals, connectors and components for coaxial cable connection systems (hereafter referred to as RF connectors) intended for road vehicle applications.

2. The intent of this specification is to qualify RF connectors that operate at frequencies greater than 200 MHz. This does not exclude lower frequency applications; the acceptance criteria may not apply, however (i.e., the AM/FM acceptance criteria is specified on Page 3 of USCAR print 999-U-001-1-A01

3. This specification does not apply to single conductor wire or twisted pair connection systems.
