The problem with the Millen connectors is that they allow an idiot like
me to connect only the B+, without also connecting ground and B-minus.
It has great potential to outlast its owner!
This topic should be in the FAQ... if we had one. There was a good
discussion here a few months ago about safe coaxial HV connector
systems, and interlocks to prevent mains being applied unless both
ground and B-minus were also present. Search the DejaNews archives for
"SHV".
