Abstract
Electrode lead wire connectors configured to be connected to an electrode for defibrillation and/or heart monitoring are disclosed. The electrode lead wire connector includes a one-piece electrically conductive connector contact having one end that is configured to be connected to a lead wire and an opposite end having an electrode receiving section that is configured to releasably receive a post of an electrode. The electrode receiving section includes a detent for retaining the post of the electrode within the electrode receiving section. Resilient engagement between the detent and the post provides a user of the electrode lead wire connector with tactile feedback indicating that the post of the electrode is fully engaged with the electrode receiving section of the one-piece electrically conductive connector contact.
