ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (1) for attachment to a medical device. The connector includes a shaft of electrically conductive material having a proximal end (2) and a distal end (3). Screw threads (4) are disposed on the proximal end of the shaft for attachment of the connector (1) to the device. A longitudinally extending slot (6) extends from the distal end of the connector and forms two legs (7a) and (7b). A pair of shoulders (8a) and (8b) extend from the middle of the connector. The shoulders are adapted to engage internal walls of one type of a female connector. A circumferentially extending recess (9a) and (9b) is disposed adjacent the distal end of the connector. The recess forms a head disposed distally of the recess. The recess is adapted to engage a ring disposed within another type of female socket. The legs are displaceable such that they provide spring engagement of the connector within the female connector by either the circumferentially extending recess or by the shoulders.
