Abstract
A high voltage disconnect plug and a receptacle therefor are described for use in coupling a high voltage conductor to a load such as a CRT. The plug includes a lock nut and a deformable annular ring through which the conductor passes, and a hollow sleeve which slides over the conductor to capture the ring between the sleeve and the lock nut. A spring carried by the sleeve engages a contact on an end of the conductor which passes through the sleeve. Insertion of the plug into a bore in the receptacle compresses the spring between the conductor's contact and a high voltage contact in the bore for coupling high voltage to the latter contact. Locking the nut to the receptacle deforms the ring to tightly seal it against the receptacle's inner wall around the bore.
