Abstract: Electrode clip for attachment to a TENS electrode or other medical electrode including a slide actuator within a grooved channel for moving longitudinally and rotationally positioning an upper contact body including an integral contact over and about an interceded electrode contact assembly, and securing the electrode contact assembly over a lower contact integral to an electrode clip main body. The sliding actuator includes catches and latches in the sliding actuator and related structure for positioning to actuate and to secure the electrode clip upper contact body in a secured or unsecured position over the main body. Spring contacts in the lower main body contact assembly provide electrical continuity between upper and lower contacts for ensuring electrical contact between the upper and lower contacts and an inserted electrode.

Abstract: Connector system such as for medical applications, which includes a yoke with inset pins, the yoke also including a locking feature for mating with an insulated connector, and locking the insulating connector into the yoke. The yoke includes at least one or a plurality such as three or more inset pins in the yoke for receiving insulated connectors such as for breath, heartbeat, and rate monitors. The yoke is formed in a three step molding process where colored buttons are first molded, the buttons and pins are then molded into a small inner yoke body assembly, and then a final yoke assembly is molded encompassing the pins, buttons, informational plaque, including a strain relief for the cable. The connector system provides for safety as well as FDA considerations and prevents a connecting lead being plugged into an AC outlet.
