ABSTRACT:
A connector system for use with external cardiac pacers provides an electrical connection to an associated pacer lead assembly. The system includes a pair of terminal blocks each having a bore for receiving a respective connector pin of the lead assembly. A pair of locking plates pivotally mounted in wedge-shaped recesses in the connector blocks each include an aperture through which the connector pins extend. The locking plates are spring-biased into engagement with the connector pins to prevent inadvertent removal of the pins from the bores. An operator actuated release button pivots the locking plates from engagement with the pins to enable the pins to be removed from the pacer.
