Abstract
An electrical connector system has a contact member with a tunnel portion and spaced, vertical contact pillars secured within the tunnel portion. Extensions of the contact pillars bind the contact member to a metal plate in staple-like fashion. The metal plate is preferably useful as an electrode for medical electronic equipment. A cable connector which snap-latches directly to the contact pillars has an encasement formed of semi-flexible arm members joined at a base portion. A wedge-shaped frontal portion is positioned at the end of each arm member such that points of the adjacent frontal portions are spaced less than the spacing between the contact member contact pillars. A notch is provided rearward of the frontal portions on each of the arms for latching to each of the contact pillars when the cable connector is pushed into the tunnel portion of the contact member. A contact strip positioned within each arm member has a portion which is positioned within the notch adjacent the bottom portion thereof for electrical contact with the pillars.
