  • Patent number: 7175478
    Abstract: A modular electric terminal connector, in particular for a monobody defibrillation probe. This terminal includes a stacking of elementary cylindrical parts, alternatively conducting and insulating, each of which includes a central cavity receiving the sheath of a cable comprising several connection wires. An axial pin, placed on a casing at the free extremity of stacking, is connected to a respective connection wire to form an axial contact of the terminal. Rods passing through homologous borings formed in each part ensure axial and angular alignment of the various parts of stacking. The unit is solidarized by injection of an adhesive under pressure. Suitable openings make it possible to connect by laser welding the conducting elementary parts to the wires located in the sheath to form the annular contacts of the terminal.
