A magnetron for a microwave oven is provided that decreases noise in an ISM band by minimizing a size of a lower end shield, and thus, minimizing EMI generation. In the magnetron for the microwave oven, as a midpoint of a side lead hole is positioned inside a virtual circle formed by points positioned at a predetermined distance from a midpoint of the shield disc and a side lead is connected in a straight line, there are advantages that a further bending process is not generated and a defective rate that occurs in the manufacturing process of the shield disc may be decreased.

An apparatus for coupling to an input connection of an electron gun, the input connection having a heater terminal and a cathode terminal, the apparatus comprising: a connector having a first configured to attach to a cable, and a second end configured to connect to the input connection of the electron gun; and wherein the connector comprises an opening configured to receive the heater terminal of the input connection of the electron gun.

A magnetron includes an anode cylindrical body, a plurality of vanes, a cathode filament, an input-side magnetic pole, an output-side magnetic pole, and a choke structure. The anode cylindrical body has a cylindrical shape with an input-side opening part and an output-side opening part. The plurality of vanes is radially disposed from a central axis of the anode cylindrical body to an inner wall surface of the anode cylindrical body. The cathode filament is disposed along the central axis of the anode cylindrical body. The input-side magnetic pole and the output-side magnetic pole are disposed on the input-side opening part and the output-side opening part, respectively. The choke structure is seamlessly formed and disposed so as to cover an opening rim of the input-side magnetic pole with respect to the central axis of the anode cylindrical body.
