Abstract: An electrode for measuring body currents, comprising an electrically conductive and adhesive contact layer (1) intended for plating on the skin and a cover layer (2) covering the contact layer (1) and a metallic sensor (9, 9'), which is connected to a transmission cable (5), for receiving and transmitting the currents can be easily handled, enables a stable connection to the connecting cable (5) to be established and is provided with an inexpensive part (1, 2) which can be used only once, if the cover foil (2) has an opening (4, 13) at the edge of the electrode and if a clamp (6) is provided which, through the opening (4, 13), grips the underside of the contact layer (1) with a first cheek (7) and the top with a second cheek (8) and which is provided with the metallic sensor (9, 9') and is connected to the transmission cable (5).

Abstract: A cable connector for a multiplicity of electrical lines is disclosed. The cable connector is adapted to be connected to a banana plug. A protective resistor is provided inside the cable connector in order to protect the electrical lines. By providing the protective resistor inside of the cable connector, a banana plug insulating jacket can be more easily provided in the banana plug housing, and the cable connector remains protected at all times.
