ISO 10599-1-1992 PDF

Full title and description

ISO 10599-1:1992 — Car radios — Coaxial aerial connectors — Part 1: Dimensions. Lays down specifications for the dimensions of the plug and socket and their designation for coaxial aerial connectors used with car radios.

Abstract

This part of ISO 10599 specifies dimensional requirements and designation details for the plug and socket of coaxial aerial connectors intended for mounting on road vehicles. It defines mating dimensions and designation conventions to ensure interchangeability of car radio antenna connectors.

Scope

This part of ISO 10599 specifies the dimensional characteristics and designation (naming/identification) of the plug and socket for coaxial aerial connectors used on car radios mounted in road vehicles. It is focused on mechanical/interchangeability dimensions rather than electrical performance or environmental testing, which are addressed in companion documents.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of dimensional characteristics for plug and socket to ensure mechanical interchangeability.
• Designation and naming conventions for connector types and mating parts.
• Reference to companion parts covering characteristic values, performance requirements and tests (see ISO 10599-2).
• Applicability to connectors intended for mounting on road vehicles (automotive antenna applications).
• Technical committee stewardship: ISO/TC 22/SC 32 (electrical/electronic components and system aspects for road vehicles).

Typical use and users

Connector and cable manufacturers, automotive radio and infotainment equipment designers, vehicle manufacturers (OEM engineering teams), test laboratories and conformity assessment bodies, and standards developers use this document to ensure mechanical compatibility of vehicle antenna connectors and to support design, procurement and quality control activities.

Related standards

Companion and related documents include ISO 10599-2 (Characteristic values, performance requirements and tests — published subsequently) and regional/adopted equivalents such as DIN ISO 10599-1 (identical/adopted versions). Several standards distributors and catalogues list ISO 10599-1 alongside ISO 10599-2.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10599-1:1992 is the first part of an ISO standard series specifying the mechanical/dimensional requirements and designation for coaxial aerial (antenna) plug and socket connectors used with car radios.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers dimensional specifications and designation details for the plug and socket to ensure mechanical compatibility and interchangeability of vehicle antenna connectors. Electrical performance and environmental/test requirements are covered in companion parts (e.g., Part 2).

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Manufacturers of connectors and cables, automotive radio and infotainment designers, vehicle OEM engineering teams, testing laboratories and standards bodies use this standard to design, specify and verify mechanical compatibility of vehicle antenna connectors.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: According to the ISO catalogue the 1992 edition (Edition 1) was reviewed and confirmed in 2021, and remains listed as the current confirmed edition. Users should verify the ISO catalogue for any updates before purchase or application.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 1 of ISO 10599. Part 2 (ISO 10599-2) addresses characteristic values, performance requirements and tests; together the parts cover both dimensional/interchangeability and performance/testing aspects.
