Abstract: A connecting pin (10) for an anode contact (11) (shown more completely in FIG. 2). The pin (10) has a body (12) with a longitudinal axis (14). A contact head (16) is formed at a proximal portion of the body (12) and a base (18) is formed at a distal portion of body (12). An intermediate shank (20) connects the head (16) and the base (18). The head (16), base (18) and intermediate shank (20) are all symmetrically arrayed about the longitudinal axis (14). The shank (20) has a first diameter (D,) and the contact head (16) has at least one lateral dimension (D2) that is greater than the shank diameter (D). The base (18) has a diameter (D3) that is greater than the shank diameter (D) and has a surface (22) that is planar and substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis (14).
