Abstract
A two component leadwire system is disclosed for electrical connection between biomedical electrodes and electrical equipment for diagnostic or therapeutic use. One leadwire component has a bayonet terminus and can be rugged for reuse. The second leadwire is an inexpensively-made receptacle for making electrical contact with the bayonet. The receptable has a socket for receiving the bayonet and an electrical conductor surrounded by a resilient, insulative sheath. When the bayonet is inserted into the socket, the sheath resiliently grips the bayonet and holds the bayonet in electrical contact with the conductor. A method for making the receptacle components, involving dip molding of the conductor arrayed on a mandril, is also disclosed.
