performance specifications at higher frequencies Therefore, a series of detail specifications have been issued in the past few years in support of these new applications In order to improve readability and ease of maintenance, IEC subcommittee 48B (SC 48B) decided to rearrange and restructure these existing documents This part of IEC 60603-7 contains only the necessary information regarding the shield of the connector and is designed to be used as a base document for all shielded connectors in the IEC 60603-7 series For further information regarding the IEC 60603-7 style connectors, reference is made to the unshielded base document IEC 60603-7 IEC 60603-7 is the base specification of the whole series Subsequent specifications not duplicate information given in the
