An improved connector assembly for interconnecting the high voltage cable output of a DC power supply to the anode socket embedded in the exterior surface of a cathode ray tube envelope wall, including a terminal having an inner end mechanically connected to the cable and electrically connected to the conductive core thereof and an outer end formed as a female connector, a generally U-shaped stamped spring metal clip having a pair of uniquely configured upstanding arms for electrically and mechanically connecting to the anode socket and having a male-configured connector integral therewith which mechanically and electrically connects with the female connector of the terminal, and a resilient cup having a large cavity which encloses the outer ends of the clip arms and a small cavity which snugly embraces the lower portion of the U-shaped metal clip, including the male connector thereof, and the female connector of the terminal. The cup also has a barrel into which the terminal is inserted for connection to the clip connector and which frictionally grips the insulative sheath of the high voltage cable. A shield washer surrounds the arms at a point where they emerge from the small cavity in the cup into which the base of the clip is inserted.
