  • Connector assembly for anode socket of cathode ray tube
    Patent number: 4801276
    Abstract: 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.
