Flyback transformer with high tension connector

Claim 1

A flyback transformer for a television receiver including a core, a coil assembly mounted on the core and including a low tension and a high tension coil and also including a rectifier connected with the high tension coil for rectifying a high tension output therefrom, the coil assembly being contained in an enclosure of an electrically insulating material together with the rectifier, a high tension lead wire having an insulating coating, and fastener means for providing an electrical connection between the high tension lead wire and the rectifier; characterized in that the fastener means comprises a tubular connector body formed of an electrically insulating material and having one end of a greater inner diameter than that of the other end, with a step between the both ends, the connector body being supported by the enclosure and having said other end opening outside the enclosure said other end being formed with a plurality of substantially axially extending slits with a plurality of inwardly extending lips at the ends thereof, a conductive cap fitted into the space at said one end of the connector body and positioned against the step and electrically connected with the rectifier, and a fastener of an electrically conductive material firmly mounted on and electrically connected with the high tension lead wire and adapted to engage the conductive cap and to be locked by the step as the end of the high tension lead wire is inserted into the connector body said fastener means including a resilient insulating cap fitted on the end of the high tension lead wire and which is adapted to be fitted over said other end of the connector body to resiliently urge the lips inwardly to firmly grip the high tension lead wire.
