HN-Type Connectors
Weatherproof 50 Ω RF interface built for high‑voltage, rugged outdoor systems
Overview
HN‑Type connectors from Amphenol RF offer industry-standard, weatherproof RF interconnections with enhanced voltage handling and mechanical reliability. Engineered for rugged environments and demanding telecommunications applications, these medium-sized connectors ensure stable signal performance and long service life in harsh conditions.
These connectors are well-suited for outdoor telecom shelters, airframe avionics, radiation detection systems, and high-voltage RF test setups. Featuring captivated contact designs and PTFE insulators, HN‑Types maintain integrity from –65 °C to +165 °C, support up to 4 GHz RF, and handle high voltage withstand—when reliability matters, HN‑Type delivers.
