ABSTRACT:
An improved electrical connector for connecting a medical electrode terminal on a patient with a lead wire is provided and comprises an electrical contact member that is embedded in a resilient insulating body member. The body member includes first and second cantilevered arms having circuitous arc segments with their concave surfaces facing towards each other to form an open jaw for receiving therebetween the electrode terminal. The electrical contact member includes a pair of open ended gripping appendages that extend into the open jaw and have respective concave gripping surfaces that face towards each other and are capable of contacting an electrode terminal. The end of the circuitous arc segments are capable of not only closing the body member jaw opening, but also of further locking the respective cantilevered arms to provide additional strength. Support ledges can be positioned on the internal surfaces of the circuitous arc segments to provide further support and a limitation to any adverse movements of the contact gripping appendages.
