Product Overview

HN Series RF Connector

The HN Series RF coaxial connector from Aptiv Interconnect is a robust, medium-to-large sized, threaded solution engineered for medium to high power applications. Designed for reliable performance at frequencies typically up to 4 GHz, the HN connector offers superior voltage breakdown characteristics and enhanced power handling capabilities compared to other common connector types. Its threaded coupling mechanism ensures a secure, mechanically stable, and reliable connection, making it an an ideal choice for demanding environments where both moderate power levels and sturdy mechanical integrity are paramount.
