There are also proprietary high-voltage connectors of connector manufacturers that are used as de facto standards in certain applications. Although other connectors for coaxial cables such as SMA, SMB, and SMC can be used, they cannot be used for very high-voltage applications.

High-voltage connectors such as BNC, MHV, or SHV are used for connecting shielded single-core coaxial cables.

There is no general standard, and instead specialized connectors unique to high-voltage devices and connector makers are used. These include high-voltage connectors used for single-core high-voltage cables without a shield, high-voltage silicon cables, and high-voltage Teflon cables. Non-shielded high-voltage cable connectors.They can be classified into three main types depending on the type of high-voltage cable used. High-voltage connectors are used for easy connection and disconnection when installing wiring to send high-voltage electricity from a power source to a device. There are many types of high-voltage connectors and applications for high voltages, including the transmission of electrical power and use of high voltages in medical and scientific applications. Types of high-voltage connectors and their overview Wiring connections can be made quickly and easily by using high-voltage connectors for changing and moving around equipment in laboratories, facilities, and factory production lines. Thus, high-voltage devices (e.g., X-ray tubes, PMTs, piezos, MCPs, electron beams, and ion beams) can be easily changed or replaced, and equipment can be easily moved or relocated. High-voltage connectors allow easy installation/uninstallation of high-voltage wiring, eliminating the need for screw fastening employed in normal wiring connections. Characteristics of high-voltage connectors This section describes the types of high-voltage connectors, which are safe and reliable for use in high-voltage circuits, and precautions for their use.

Thus, high-voltage connectors are commonly used to connect high-voltage devices used in medical, scientific, and analytical equipment to improve their ease of use and reduce maintenance. The X-ray tube and high-voltage power supply are connected via high-voltage connectors to ensure easy interchangeability. X-ray tubes used in medical X-ray machines and analyzers are vacuum tubes that must be replaced after a certain amount of operation time. Familiar high-voltage equipment includes X-ray machines (X-ray diagnostic imaging equipment). In electric vehicles, the voltage of inverters and battery circuits is increasing with the increasing voltage of motors. Some test equipment requires boosting the voltage of commercial 100 VAC to generate high voltage.
