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.

A connector assembly connectable between (a) an electrically conductive anode socket having an annular ring with an inwardly-directed circular lip mounted to the exterior wall of an evacuated glass tube, and (b) a high voltage insulated cable, said connector assembly comprising: a conductive terminal having an inner section electrically and mechanically connected to said high voltage cable, said terminal having an outer section provided with a leading edge, an electrically insulative molded cup having (a) a skirt section defining a large open cavity; (b) a central body section having a small cavity defined by a first and second pair of opposed internal generally parallel side walls and a generally rectangular top internal wall, the cross-section of said small cavity being approximately coextensive in size and shape with that of said rectangular top internal wall, said small cavity having a longitudinal axis approximately perpendicular to said top wall; (c) a barrel having a bore therein connected at its inner end to said small cavity via one of said walls of said first pair and having an outer open end, said barrel having a longitudinal axis disposed at a substantial angle to said longitudinal axis of said small cavity, said barrel bore being configured to snugly embrace the exterior of said high voltage insulated cable, and (d) a recess in the other of said internal side walls of said first pair located opposite said inner end of said bore, a stamped band of electrically conductive spring sheet material formed into a generally U-shaped anode clip having (a) a central generally rectangular base approximately coextensive in size and shape with said internal top wall of said small cavity, said base having a generally rectangular perimeter defined by four sides, (b) oppositely disposed, spaced-apart, elongated arms extending from opposite sides of said base, said arms each having (i) a first section at the free end thereof which includes means for mechanically and electrically connecting said arms to an anode socket at opposite points of the annular ring thereof, (ii) a second section located between and integral with said first section and said opposite sides of said base, said second sections each being in a single plane disposed generally parallel to each other and perpendicular to said base, and (c) a connecting element extending from and integral with a third side of said base located between said opposite sides of said base from which said arms extend, said connecting element having an outer section disposed between said second arm sections and approximately parallel to said base, said connecting element being free of edges which project beyond the perimeter of said base, said clip being located in small cavity with said base in substantially full surface contact with said top internal wall, said opposite side walls of said second pair in substantially full surface contact with said second arm sections, said third side of said base being proximate said other of said walls of said first pair, said outer section of said connecting element being disposed between said inner end of said bore and said recess, and said first arm sections extending into said large open cavity, whereby when said terminal is inserted into said bore (a) the terminal and connecting element slidingly engage to establish an electrical and mechanical interconnect therebetween and (b) the leading edge of said terminal seats in said recess to prevent withdrawal and inhibit wobble of said clip relative to said small cavity, and lock means incorporated in said terminal and connecting element inhibiting mechanical disengagement therebetween when said terminal and connecting element slidingly engage upon insertion of said terminal into said bore and the leading edge of said terminal outer section seats in said recess.
