Abstract
Electrical connective means are provided for effecting the external connections to a multi-element electron tube having a closure portion wherein the sealed exhaust tubulation has a conductive lead extending therefrom. The connective means includes a base member having a projecting hollow-stack portion which is formed to protectively encompass the sealed tubulation. Additionally, the hollow-stack has a metallic contact recessed therein, ahead of the seal, to which the protruding seal-related lead is affixed. A central recess is formed in a mating socket member to match the projecting stack of the base member. The stack is telescopically positioned within the recess to enable a receptor contact located therein to make seated abutment with the metallic contact in the base.
