ABSTRACT:
A connector for establishing electrical connection between a conductor and a patient engaging electrode that includes a conductive post extending from the electrode. The post has a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an intermediate portion having a diameter smaller than the diameter of the distal portion. The connector comprises insulation means shaped to form a socket open at one end, a pair of first spring members, a pair of second spring members, and means for electrically connecting the conductor to the second spring members. The first spring members are laterally positioned with respect to one another in the socket, and the second spring members are laterally positioned with respect to one another in the socket closer to said one end than the first spring members. The first and second spring members are positioned and constructed such that when the post is inserted in the socket, the second spring members grip the proximal portion of the post, and the first spring members and the intermediate and distal portions of the post comprise a detent mechanism that resists removal of the post from the socket.
