A series evaporator for vacuum vapor-deposition apparatus has several evaporators 5 with individual power control, heated by passing through a current, supported on column-like, electrical supply lines 3, 4 wherein the column-like supply lines 3, 4 are held by an electrically conductive support body 6 extending over the entire length of the series evaporator. The supply lines 3 of the one polarity are connected to the support body 6 in an electrically conductive manner whereas the supply lines 4 of the other polarity are passed through the support body 6 in an insulated manner and connected to conducting wires 7 disposed in an insulated manner. Spring elements 8 apply pressure to the supply lines 4 traversing the support body 6 with play a, b, the action of these spring elements being exerted approximately parallel to the longitudinal extension of the evaporator and pressing the top portions 9 of the supply lines 4 against the front surfaces 10 of the evaporator 5 which they face. The spring elements themselves are held and guided in an insulating manner with respect to the support bodies 6 or are made of an insulating material, and the conducting wires 7 connected to these supply lines 4 are conductors passed through by a coolant or are configured as cooling tubes 11 or cooling pipes running parallel to the conducting wires and discharging into chambers or channels 12 provided in the supply lines 4.
