The SHV (Safety High Voltage) connector has a prominent insulator design and is a very easy to identify snap connection type of RF connector with the advantages of easy connection, stable performance and high voltage resistance. When mating with the connector, the external conductor contacts are completed before the internal conductor contacts.
SHV connectors are suitable for all high voltage applications up to 5kv DC or 3.5 kV AC rms, with the voltage being valid both connected and unconnected. Compared to MHV, SHV connectors are safer when handling high voltages.
