I know you asked for a connector, but here's another approach you
might want to consider. On my homebrew amp, I just cut a one inch
hole in the back panel, placed a two by two inch piece of 1/8" plastic
over it and drilled a hole in the plastic for the HV wire to go
directly through. The wire was then soldered to the appropriate point
inside. There's no connector at all, so it can never fail or come
unplugged, and since there are no metal pins or sockets involved, it's
safer too. Cost about two cents (if that much). Works like a charm.
