This part of 60512-23 defines a test method which is intended to assess the screening
effectiveness of screened non-circular multi-pole or coaxial, electrically short, connectors by
the measurement of the effective (surface) transfer impedance ZTE expressed in ohm, using a
network analyzer, for frequencies up to 1 GHz. It is based on the line injection test method
according IEC 61196-1 with a specific type of injection wire, which is adapted to the shapes
of connectors. Due to the specific test set-up used in the method described hereinafter the
connector screen itself is not verified, but the combination of two connectors (male and
female) together, i.e. the test results include the effectiveness of the screens of the two
connectors and the joint between the connectors and the joints of the cable to the connector.
