Abstract
A socket for a high voltage plug is folded from a single sheet of metal to form a cylindrical corona shield on an axis about a pair of spring contacts. The shield and contacts extend from a cylindrical base of the shield along a solder face to an outer segmental lip for suppressing corona from wiring on the face.
Claims16
A high voltage connector for receiving a cylindrical contactor along a connector axis comprising:
- a single sheet of metal having a circular base on the axis;
- a rectangular face extending outwardly from the base parallel to the axis;
- and
- two arcuate extensions from &he face forming a cylindrical enclosure concentric with the axis;
- the extensions each having a reentrant end forming with the face an inner three sided spring socket open at one end to receive the cylindrical contactor;
- so that an integral connector socket and a surrounding corona shield are formed integrally from one sheet of metal.
