MHV Adapters

Amphenol RF’s MHV adapters include in‑series (MHV-to-MHV barrels) and between‑series models (e.g., MHV to N‑Type), supporting a range of connectivity in high-voltage setups. Bayonet-style coupling ensures fast, tool-free mating, while captivated (retained) contacts provide reliable performance even under vibration.

Engineered to handle voltages up to 5 kV DC and frequencies typically to 300 MHz, MHV adapters are ideal for high-voltage test, medical imaging, and mixing RF with DC power systems. Their compact form—similar in size to BNC but non-intermateable—makes them well suited for tight laboratory and industrial environments.

Features and Benefits

• High-Voltage Assurance – Rated for continuous voltages up to 1.5 kVRMS and peaks to 5 kV, ideal for high-voltage RF applications.
• Bayonet Lock with Captivated Contacts – Quick connect/disconnect with dependable retention under stress.
• In-Series and Converter Range – Includes barrel adapters and between-series types, such as MHV-to-N‑Type.
• Laboratory-Grade Design – Compact, durable, and standards-compliant, tailored for medical imaging, instrumentation, and test equipment.
• Connector-Saver Utility – In-series adapters prolong the life of cables and instrument ports.

Applications

• High‑Voltage RF & Power Systems – Safe, reliable connections in high-voltage supplies and RF-DC hybrids.
• Laboratory & Nuclear Instrumentation – Suitable for scintillation probes, Geiger counters, and radiation equipment.
• Medical and X‑Ray Devices – Enables safe high-voltage interconnects in imaging equipment.
• Test & Measurement – Protects coaxial equipment while merging RF and high-voltage testing.
