There's a special type of tube socket called a _____ socket that's designed to hold a tube in the socket when the electronics system is exposed to vibration.
Wires or conductors can be terminated by two kinds of connectors and terminals: _____ and ____.

Materials that don't readily conduct electricity are called _____.
In some applications, insulators are called _____.
Since a "perfect" insulator doesn't exist, current can be forced through any material. If this happens in a circuit where it's not supposed to, it can destroy the insulator. This is known as an ______.
Another kind of current flow through insulators is _______. Unlike an arc discharge, this doesn't destroy the insulator, except for rare cases when it is left unrepaired for very long periods of time.
The insulation that surrounds a wire is rated by its ________.
A wire's ________ is the amount of voltage required to produce an arc discharge through the insulation.
A ______ is an "in-between" material that can't conduct current as well as a conductor, but can conduct current better than an insulator.
