Disclosed are a cartridge-type X-ray source apparatus and an X-ray emission apparatus using the same. The X-ray source includes: a cathode electrode provided with an electron emission source by using a nanostructure; an anode electrode having a target emitting X-rays by electron collision; and a housing forming an external appearance, and exposing a cathode electrode terminal connected to the cathode electrode and an anode electrode terminal connected to the anode electrode to an outside thereof, wherein the cathode electrode terminal and the anode electrode terminal differ from each other in at least one of exposure direction, height, size, and shape.

A vacuum tube insert assembly includes a flared insert piece having an annular flange and a stem each constructed of glass. The stem extends axially from the flange. The flange surrounds a perimeter edge of a plug concavity defined by the stem. Feed-through pins pass axially through the stem and are sealed thereto. The pins terminate inside of the concavity to form a plug. A socket connects to the plug within the concavity and includes receptacles that removably couple to the pins, with an engagement feature preventing erroneous plug and socket connections. A method includes axially inserting the pins through the stem at a fixed relative position such that the pins are arranged within the plug concavity, sealing the stem such that the stem is vacuum-sealed to the pins, thereby forming the plug, and removably coupling mating receptacles of the socket to the pins.
