Abstract: A cathode ray tube has a deflection yoke (14) secured to a glass envelope (2). The glass envelope includes a neck (4) and a funnel (5). The deflection yoke comprises an electrically insulative liner (15) provided with vertical (17) and horizontal deflection coils (19). The liner has rod receiving apertures (23) arranged proximate a rear end (20) of the liner. The rod receiving apertures extend through the liner at spaces between the vertical and horizontal deflection coils. Rods (29) are positioned in the rod receiving apertures. A clamp (30) has a locking portion (40) that engages the rods. The locking portion pushes the rods inward through the rod receiving apertures and into engagement with the neck to secure the deflection yoke to the neck of the envelope.
