Coaxial HV Connectors

Miniature coaxial high-voltage connectors are also known as MHV connectors. When mated, they have a test voltage of 5 kV rms and an operating voltage of up to 1.6 kV rms. They are also designed for applications up to 300 MHz.

MHV-connectors are based on the construction of BNC connectors, but they have protrusive insulators, what leads to a slight protection against contact of conductors under voltage in an uncoupled condition

For a maximum contact protection of uncoupled connectors, the connector series SHV is recommended.

To ensure greater safety, we offer SHV high-voltage connectors (SHV = Safe High Voltage) in addition to MHV.
The inner conductor contacts are backspaced in order to exclude the contact of conductors under voltage when unconnected. When connecting, the outer contacts touch each other before the inner contacts.

SHV-Connectors are suitable for all applications up to 5 kV DC or 3.5 eff. These connectors are particularly used for nuclear devices as well as for testing and measuring devices.  All given values are valid in connected and disconnected condition

Do you need pre-assembled high-voltage cables with MHV or SHV connectors according to your individual specifications? In our online cable configurator, you can assemble your desired cable according to your requirements under the section “High-voltage cables”. Please note that our high-voltage connectors are also compatible with some regular 50 Ohm cables. Simply select the “Coaxial cable 50 Ohm” category.
