Abstract
The present invention relates to an elongated male connector (), for a medical device, and a method of producing the male connector (). The male connector () has a longitudinal axis () and comprises a plurality of conductive members (), each having an outer contact surface () and being separated from each other by insulating members (). The conductive and insulating members () are disposed along the male connector (), such that the outer contact surfaces () are arranged essentially at the same surface level, and that each of the conductive members () has an elongated extension along the longitudinal axis () of the male connector (). Each conductive member () is provided with an insulated microrod () extending at least partially along the length of the male connector (), and the conductive members () are hollow and have an essentially cylindrical cross-section and form, together with the insulating members (), a self-supporting male connector () having no core wire.
