Abstract
A connector and method of making electrical connection between an electrical conductor and a removable electrical device. The connector is an elastic material, such as silicone, that is both compatible with the environment and is an electrical insulator. It forces contact between the electrical device and integral contacts in the connector by virtue of its elasticity. The electrodes and the connections are protected from the environment to avoid electrical leakage or corrosion of the electrodes.
