ABSTRACT:
A plug and socket connector intended primarily for implantation in a human or animal body, for instance to connect an electrode catheter to a cardiac pacemaker casing. The plug member has an insulating body portion mounting a conducting spigot for connection to a conductor. The socket connector defines a bore in which the insulating body portion is received in a sealing manner. A block of conducting rubber material is positioned in the bore and has a recess in which the spigot is received, the cross-section of the recess being smaller than that of the spigot, so that the block is deformed as the spigot enters the recess, to make an electrical connection therewith. A contact extends through the wall defining the bore, to connect with the block. The conducting rubber may be a silicone rubber loaded with carbon particles.
