ABSTRACT:
A cable connector particularly adapted for attachment to the end of a cable and releasable attachment to a stud fastener such as commonly provided on an electrosurgical electrode, comprises a body portion having a groove therein along which the head of the stud fastener can slide to a contact location defined by a blind end of the slot. Resilient metal contacts are provided within the body of the connector, to form a resilient electrical contact with the head of the terminal at such location. A hinged locking lever is provided, which hinges into a locking position, in which a protruberance extending downwardly from the locking lever engages behind the head of the stud terminal and prevents its withdrawal from the contact location along the slot. The dimensions of the slot prevent withdrawal of terminal in any other direction. The locking lever also has an engaging proturberance which releasably engages a formation on the end of the body, to hold the locking lever in its locked position. The body is made of ultrasound weldable plastic material, from three assemblable plastic parts, each of which individually is a simple plastic molding.
