RF connectors for high voltage equipment are HN type rf connectors (rated voltage 1.5 kV, withstand voltage 5 kV/min), MHV type rf connectors (rated voltage 1.6 kV, withstand voltage 5 kV/min), and SHV type rf connectors (rated voltage 3.5 kV, withstand voltage 5 kV/min). Please select according to the product you are using.

What is a HN Type RF Connector
HN type rf connectors are coaxial for high voltage equipment with rated voltage up to 1.5 kV and withstand voltage up to 5 kV/min. It is a threaded coupling type connector with a mating part similar to the N type rf connector, but it is not interchangeable and cannot be mated with the N type rf connector. The name "HN" is derived from the mating part being similar to that of the N type rf connector, and the connector is compatible with high voltage (High Voltage).
Some HN type RF connectors are available for purchase from Digi-Key.

HN Type RF Connector FAQ
Q
Can HN be mated with N connectors?
A
Although HN connectors are a threaded coupling type, they are not compatible with N, N75Ω, or S connectors, etc. They cannot be mated due to the HN connector's extended insulation.
What is a MHV Type RF Connector
MHV (Miniature High Voltage) type rf connectors are coaxial for high voltage equipment with rated voltage up to 1.6 kV and withstand voltage up to 5 kV/min. They are not mating with BNC and SHV type rf connectors even though the shape of the matting part are similar to the BNC type rf connector's. Many manufacturers use "BNC-HV "as their model name because the mating part is similar to that of BNC type rf connectors, and the connector can handle high voltages.
Some MHV type RF connectors are available for purchase from Digi-Key.

MHV Type RF Connector FAQ
Q
Can MHV be mated with BNC or SHV connectors?
A
MHV are bayonet lock connectors incompatible with BNC or SHV connectors. MHV connectors' insulation is more extended and so cannot be mated. However, please be aware that you may be forced to do so and be able to mate them by mistake.
What is a SHV Type RF Connector
SHV (Safe High Voltage) type rf connectors are coaxial connectors for high-voltage equipment with a rated voltage of up to 3.5 kV and withstand voltage of up to 5 kV/min. It can handle even higher voltages than the MHV type rf connector. The connector features a shape in which the connector insulator protrudes from the body. It has a mating part similar to BNC connectors but is incompatible with BNC and MHV type rf connectors.
Some SHV type RF connectors are available for purchase from Digi-Key.

SHV Type RF Connectors FAQ
Q
Can SHV be mated with BNC and MHV connectors?
A
Although SHV are bayonet lock type connectors, they are not compatible with BNC or MHV connectors. The insulator of the SHV connector protrudes from the body and so cannot be mated.
