About This Item
IEEE P287/D4 is an unapproved draft standard for precision coaxial connectors covering the DC to 110 GHz range. It addresses connector design and performance concerns where very high-frequency signal integrity depends on controlled geometry, repeatable mating, and reliable electrical characteristics. As a draft technical document in the Components, Circuits, Devices and Systems space, it matters for organizations that need a clear basis for evaluation, development, or early alignment around precision interconnect requirements.
What is IEEE P287/D4?
IEEE P287/D4 sets out draft guidance for precision coaxial connectors intended for ultra-wideband operation from DC through 110 GHz. In this context, the standard is concerned with how connector interfaces support stable transmission, low reflection, and consistent mechanical fit at very high frequencies. Because it is an unapproved draft, it is best viewed as a working technical specification rather than a finalized compliance document. The IEEE P287/D4 designation helps identify the exact revision being referenced.
Where is IEEE P287/D4 used?
This draft standard is most relevant in test and measurement environments, high-frequency instrumentation, and advanced electronic assemblies that use precision coaxial interconnects. It may be applied when selecting or evaluating connectors for laboratory calibration setups, RF verification chains, microwave modules, and other systems where connector performance can directly affect measurement accuracy. For teams working with components and systems in the DC to 110 GHz range, IEEE P287/D4 provides a focused reference for connector-related decisions.
Why is IEEE P287/D4 important?
Precision coaxial connectors at very high frequencies require tight control over dimensions, materials, and mating behavior, since small variations can alter performance. IEEE P287/D4 is important because it supports more consistent design reviews, procurement comparisons, and technical testing for connector-related requirements. Using a defined draft reference can also reduce ambiguity between suppliers and users, helping teams manage compatibility, traceability, and risk when working near the limits of RF and microwave performance.
