SHV Coaxial Connector
SHV – Safe High Voltage connectors provide more secure handling due to well-recessed center contacts. This prevents shock hazards in unmated condition. All inner contacts are fully captivated and will withstand axial forces of 100 N minimum. When mating a connector pair, the outer conductor contact is made prior to the inner conductor contacts.
SHV connectors are suitable for all high voltage applications up to 5 kV DC or 3.5 kV rms. These connectors are typically used in nuclear instruments or Test & Measurement equipment. Voltages are valid for both mated and unmated conditions.
