<p>A connector is provided for the conductors (65,66,68) running between the electrode-containing ends of a neon tube (13) and the high voltage power supply (18). Two half-shells (25,26) composed of rigid insulating plastic are joined together to form a housing after the electrical connection is made between a power supply lead wire (68) and the neon tube (13), to completely enclose the connection. At least one end of the housing resulting from combining the half-shells (25,26) contains a substantially round hole (45,50) and a circular groove (43,48) inwardly thereof. An insulating feedthrough adapter (74) has an integral collar (76) which is captured in the groove. A spirally grooved or corrugated flexible insulating sleeve (21) screws onto the adapter (74) which results in the lead wire (68) being double insulated. One of the end portions (17) of the neon tube (13) fits through a hole (46,49) in the insulating housing opposite of the hole in which the adapter (74) resides. <IMAGE></p> |
