Abstract
A buffer is provided for protecting the electron beam collector of a traveling wave tube. The collector comprises an elongated tubular wall, an elongated tubular insulating wall of one type of material, an elongated cylindrical electrode of another type of material coaxially positioned within the insulating wall, and the buffer interposed between the electrode and the insulating wall. The buffer comprises a continuous web of buffer material capable of being bonded to dissimilar insulating wall material and electrode material. The web having an alternating pattern of corrugations, the vertices of the corrugations are generally planar which define two generally parallel, planar surfaces which in turn are adapted for bonding to the insulating wall and the electrode.
