What is a MHV Type RF Connector
Summary
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.

MHV Type RF Connector Features
compatible with high voltage
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.
Coupling Method
The Bayonet lock method is an easy connection method that does not rely on threading and can be easily connected and disconnected. Insert the plug into the jack by aligning it with the guide on the jack side, and rotate the ring slightly to lock it in place, and the internal spring force will hold it firmly in place. It can be quickly removed by turning it slightly in the opposite direction, but since it is secured to the spring by a screw, it cannot be pulled out simply by pulling on the cable.

MHV Type RF Connector FAQ
QCan MHV be mated with BNC or SHV connectors?
QCan MHV be mated with BNC or SHV connectors?
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.
