Combination high voltage multiplier and focus voltage divider for a television receiver with housing means

Claim 1

In a high voltage system for a television receiver including a deflection transformer with a high voltage winding requiring a tuning capacitance, and a picture tube optimally having a fixed anode voltage-focus voltage ratio, a readily manufacturable combination high voltage multiplier and focus voltage divider exhibiting predictable input capacitance and high degree of reliability comprising: an insulating case defining first and second interconnected compartments for holding an insulating epoxy encapsulant at a given level; a high voltage multiplier, including a first high voltage connection point and low voltage connection points, mounted in one of said compartments, said high voltage multiplier including a plurality of capacitors and diodes, interconnected in a ladder-like configuration between said connection points, mounted in fixed spatial relationship on an apertured support member, said fixed spatial relationship defining said input capacitance; a focus voltage divider in the other of said compartments, said focus voltage divider comprising a printed resistance element on an alumina substrate with low voltage connection points and a second high voltage connection point; high voltage connector means having one end affixed to said apertured support member in electrical contact with said first high voltage connection point and another end extending above said support member to a level less than said given level; a plurality of low voltage connectors attached to the low voltage connection points of both said multiplier and said focus voltage divider, said low voltage connectors extending above said given level; and an electrical interconnection extending between said compartments connecting said second high voltage connection point on said focus voltage divider to said other end of said high voltage connector means.
