Amen, Carl. If one insists upon using the Millen red and blacks, I suggest
my method of punching a one and 1/4 inch round hole in the chassis, mounting
a 2 X 2 X 1/2 inch piece of Plexiglas behind the hole, and installing the
connector in the center of the round hole backed up by the Plexiglas. I have
used this successfully on 6 KV supplies with no problems. I would never use
the Millen connectors without the plastic backing at voltages over 3 KV.
There is a yellow Millen connector that absorbs moisture worse than the red
and black!
