the envelope.
At one end of the envelope, a terminal at the end of a wire lead engages the electrical pin. The wire lead extends through an elastic boot or cap that extends a short distance, cylindrically, sealingly, between the lamp envelope and the quartz tube. A threaded retainer cap contacts the elastic boot axially and is threaded onto an O-ring sealing collar that surrounds the end of the quartz tube, so that the retainer cap prevents axial movement of the lamp and the elastic boot cylindrical seal out of the quartz tube.
At the other end of the envelope, a similar terminal, boot and O-ring seal are mounted on the quartz tube. The threaded retainer cap at the other end further includes an axial spring inside the cap thatultraviolet transparent tube in a water purification tank contains a male plug that receives one end of the lamp envelope and is permanently fastened thereto, and a female socket that removably locks onto the male plug so that the lamp envelope and plug can be removed from the transparent tube by wires attached to the female socket.
A high voltage connector assembly for an ultraviolet lamp sealed gas discharge envelope includes a plug and a socket, the plug comprising:
a first electrically non conductive body comprising a front, a back and a first axis extending through the front and the back, a first opening in the front configured for receiving the first end of the envelope, a lateral first shoulder, spaced from the front of the first body, a first
