ABSTRACT:
A biomedical electrical connector that includes a lower body member and an upper actuator member is provided. The body member has a front end of a curvilinear configuration and a rear platform component. The platform component has guide ribs disposed on either side that extend parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body. An actuator member has downwardly-projecting guide flanges on either side of a coupling portion that extend parallel to its longitudinal axis. Each flange includes a groove in its interior side of a complementary configuration to the guide ribs for slidably coupling the actuator substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the body. The actuator has a front end of a curvilinear configuration cantilevered from the coupling portion. A sinusoidal interface is defined between the actuator's curvilinear front end and the body'curvilinear front end when the actuator is slid generally forwardly in relation to the body to an overcenter position. A portion of a flexible electrode may be frictionally engaged by the sinusoidal interface of the body and the actuator and brought into electrical contact with a terminal. Teeth of the terminal extend slightly into the portion of flexible electrode to prevent the connector from detaching from the flexible electrode and for conductively coupling the terminal to the electrode.
