Scott is CORRECT on the Alden HV connectors. Best ones out there.

The Millen ones are junk, don't use them if you value your life!

I've built MANY amps over the years and have replaced any Millen's with Aldens years ago after a very near death experience...

Sorry I did not mean any offense

Advice I add now and then seems to always be ignored.

Why I seldom chime in.

If you were to 'sing the praises' of those Millen HV connectors,
which are advertised up to 7KV, Shane, WP2ASS, might bop you on the
nose! I have used them to 2KV but I would go much above that because
they lack a lot of protection where the wire goes into the connector
itself. I have some SHV that require RG-58 or a reasonable facsimile
thereof. Recently I used
these:

le One of the companies that makes a Megger uses it to 10KV. I'm
only using it for 2KV but the bare conductor is buried deep inside
the ABS probe so that it isn't exposed. The only issue I see is that
the manufacturer doesn't state the current. It didn't bother me
since I was looking at a max of about 300mA on my modulator.
However, YMMV!

Don't depend on haphazard grounding for HV power return, run a
separate dark cable for the HV return in addition to having a
common shack grounding system.
Use bright red HV cables and purpose built HV connectors. Millen
HV connectors have been used in Amateur radio applications for a
long time.

Subject: [ham-amplifiers] Need advice on HV connectors HI all,
Thanks for reading the mail. I have acquired a home brew amp and
power supply that is missing its HV cable. I'd like to change both
of them to one style since they are both different. Jack Schutt
K9GT originally built this. I'd thought about using
SO-239/PL-259's that are Teflon with RG-8 inner conductor cable as
the HV wire and packing the PL-259's with RTV-108 and sleeving the
wire with GOOD Belden heavy shrink tube with sealant. Does that
sound like it would hold
5 KV since that's what Jack built the power supply too? Thanks for
the input and reading the mail.
