Abstract
A connector (10) to connect electrical leads to an inner tube (12) and a spaced apart outer tube (14). A body (16) having a center bore (20) is disposed in an opening (26) in the outer tube (14) and is secured to the outer tube (14) with the body (16) extending outwardly. An adapter (48) is disposed in the bore (20) in the body (16). A coaxially mounted conductor (52) is retractably disposed in the adapter (48). The conductor (52) is electrically insulated from the adapter (48). The conductor (52) has an end (54) which makes electrical contact with the inner tube (12). Electrical leads are attached to the body (16) and to the conductor (52).
