ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector of extreme simplicity for coupling leads of a fetal scalp electrode to a cable of an electrical signal monitor. The connector includes a plurality of electrically isolated wiring frame components derived from a single wiring frame and thereafter insert molded into a connector body. The wiring frame components include a pair of signal pathways passing through the connector body to couple each lead of the fetal electrode to a corresponding conductor in the cable and a reference pathway through the connector body for effecting an electrical reference coupling with the body of the patient and communicating a reference voltage through the cable to the monitor. Integrally formed on the connector body is a pivotable lead retention wing and thereon a lead retention stub. By pivoting the retention wing into a position adjacent to the connector body, the retention stub along with a lead of the fetal scalp electrode is received and clamped into a lead retention recess. Other integrally formed features of the connector body facilitate coupling and any decoupling of the retention stub from the retention recess.
