Abstract
Terminal clip and electrode constructions are disclosed for use with lead wires of instruments such as medical monitoring instruments which employ electrodes for attaching to a patient. The terminal clip includes a conductive member having a hook portion for engaging a terminal portion of the electrode. The electrode includes a terminal portion for grasping by the conductive hook portion of the terminal clip, and a loop for embracing the terminal clip housing to hold the terminal clip in position and prevent relative movement between the conductive hook of the clip and the terminal portion of the electrode. The terminal portion and the loop of the electrode are fabricated of a collapsible-memory material, such as heat formed Mylar or the like. The terminal portion of the electrode is coated with a conductive ink for electrical connection between a patient and the terminal clip.
