Abstract
A vertex-cut $S$ is called a {\it super vertex-cut} if $G-S$ is disconnected and it contains no isolated vertices. The {\it super-connectivity}, $\kappa^{'}$, is the minimum cardinality over all super vertex-cuts. This article provides bounds for the super connectivity of the direct product of an arbitrary graph and the complete graph $K_n$. Among other results, we show that if $G$ is a non-complete graph with girth$(G)=3$ and $\kappa^{'}(G)=\infty$, then $\kappa^{'}(G\times K_n) \leq {\rm min}\{mn-6, m(n-1)+5, 5n+m-8\}$, where $|V(G)|=m$.
