Abstract
For connecting a high voltage wire to an elongated terminal of an electrical device, a connector link is provided comprising a first hollow tubing having an open first end with an extending flattened portion of the tubing bent to form the wall of a second hollow tubing having an axis of elongation perpendicular to the axis of elongation of the first tubing. The second hollow tubing is interference fitted onto the terminal and an end of the high voltage wire is inserted into the open end of the first tubing. The wire end is soldered to the first tubing and the second tubing is soldered to the terminal. An abundance of solder is used for causing the solder to flow outwardly from the ends of the tubings to form a continuous well-wetted shape of solder having smooth and rounded surfaces for avoiding concentrated electric fields and attendant electrical discharges.
