ABSTRACT:
A connector is fabricated from dielectric material, typically ceramic, to enable the isolated assembly of neon connections, the plugging in of neon tubes, and the maintenance of high voltage neon connections (in the order of 30,000 volts). The connector includes a dielectric housing and separate dielectric cover plate with an optional silicon rubber gasket therebetween. In connector assembly, commonly bound, oppositely-polarized high voltage wires enter a common chamber defined between the backside of the housing and the mounting. On the front side of the housing are first and second paired and communicated chamber sets. Each set of chambers includes a connector chamber and a tube receiving chamber. The connector chamber receives an insulated wire of one polarity from the common housing at the connector back and provides an isolated dielectric cavity in which the wire is stripped and electrical conductor connection made. This electrical conductor communicates to the tube chamber through a threaded bolt and attached spring. Once stripping and connection of the wire in the connection chamber has occurred, the housing is capped with the cover and the neon tube plugged into the tube chamber. The tube chamber is provided with a long electric connection channel, which receives the tube at one end. This tube chamber is provided with a length that isolates the connection of the tube in a dielectrically enclosed environment and contains a conductive spring to make the desired connection.
