There are all sorts of connectors you can use. The current is fairly 
low (a few tens of mA, right?), but voltage is high.

You can make something yourself using banana plugs and jacks and PVC 
pipe (1/2" nests inside 3/4" very nicely) to recess the HV so it 
can't get touched.

Or, just mount a couple banana jacks 12" apart or so on plastic.
