Abstract

A novel space-saving socket and base assembly for high-voltage picture tubes is disclosed. The inventive socket, which does not project over the base in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the picture tube, is obtained by optimizing the air and creepage paths of the socket and base through the use of an aperture positioned in the base for locating the high-voltage lead. This effectively reduces the overall length requirements for mounting these tubes inside equipment housings, and the size of these housings thereby.
