A receptacle for receiving a plug connector of a high-voltage cable for a microfocus X-ray tube with a cathode, which has a metal filament and grid cap. The receptacle has a ceramic insulator with three contiguous cavities. The first cavity near the filament includes electrical contacts for the filament and the grid cap. The second cavity includes spring contacts for supplying current to the filament and a center pin for supplying voltage to the grid. The third cavity receives the plug connector. The insulator has a removable grid mounting which is conductively connected to the grid cap of the cathode. The first and second cavities are surrounded in the radial direction by the grid mounting. An air gap extends radially between grid mounting and ceramic body. At the end of the grid mounting remote from the filament is a circumferential groove in the axial direction between the grid mounting and the ceramic insulator.

A method, a system and a device for automated configuration of a high power X-ray source apparatus (), which has multiple modules (). A first module () of the high power X-ray source apparatus () has an identification unit () storing at least one parameter of the first module () and transmitting the parameters to a configuration control unit (). At least one operating parameter of a second module () is determined by the configuration control unit () based on characteristics of the transmitted parameter of the first module (). The high power X-ray source apparatus () is configured by setting the operating parameter of the second module () to the determined value.
