Abstract
An electrode and connector are detachably connected to one another for use in defibrillating or pacing a patient's heart. The connector includes two jaw members which clamp over a tab portion of the electrode. The jaw members include electrical contacts which engage and contact the conductive sheet within the electrode. This provides electrical continuity from the electrode through the connector to a lead wire.
