Abstract

A high voltage transformer assembly for use in a high frequency medical X-ray generator comprises a plurality of transformers, a plurality of filter capacitors, and a pair of capacitor printed circuit boards for mounting the capacitors and for coupling the capacitors in electrical circuit to define a plurality of relatively high power handling capacitance circuits. A plurality of diodes are provided, and diode printed circuit boards mount the diodes and couple the diodes in electrical circuit to define a plurality of relatively high power handling diode circuit elements. A frame, and top and bottom plate-like members, and other joining structure join together the frame and the top and bottom plate-like members, and the capacitor printed circuit boards to form an enclosure wherein the top and bottom plate-like members and the capacitor printed circuit boards comprise four sides of a generally rectilinear, six-sided enclosure. The diode printed circuit boards are mounted to the opposite, open ends of this enclosure so as to generally span the remaining two sides of the rectilinear enclosure. The transformers, the diodes, and the capacitors are electrically connected in circuit to for…
