A depressible beam collector structure for electron beam tubes is disclosed. The beam collector structure includes a metallic beam collector electrode for collecting and dissipating energy of the beam. An electrically insulative ceramic sleeve surrounds the beam collector electrode for electrically insulating the collector electrode relative to the surrounds of the insulator body. An array of yieldable metallic thermally conductive cantilever fins are interposed between and interconnect the beam collector electrode with the surrounding insulative sleeve for providing a thermally conductive path therebetween. The yieldable cantilever fins conduct heat from the collector to the insulator and thence to the surrounds while preventing transmission of stress due to differential thermal expansion to the brittle insulator.
