A self-adhering base for a cathode ray tube has a circular array of connector pin apertures, three of which are sized to create a force fit with their associated pins. A first high voltage pin aperture is sized smaller than its associated pin, and the remaining two apertures, which are located approximately equidistantly from the first aperture, are slot-shaped. The slots are oriented to have their long axes intersect the first aperture. Such a self-adhering base is useful both as an in-process base during tube manufacture, and also as a permanent base on the finished tube.
