0-50 MHz
MHV connectors provide the user with shielded disconnects where high voltages are present, generally up to 5KV DC. The MHV has non-constant impedance characteristics and features polarized center contacts which are recessed in the lengthened dielectric material. This feature ensures hand or body contact with the unmated connector with rated voltage applied will not result in electrical shock.
The MHV connectors are available in crimp, clamp, and bulkhead receptacle jack and plug types. They are similar in size to, but are not intermateable with, BNC connectors. The devices are suitable for all high voltage applications up to 5 KV DC.
