Abstract
A safety medical cable assembly and terminal connector is provided including a first cable unit with a plug for connection to the monitor and a first connector unit connected to a flexible electrical conduit. A second cable unit having a second connector unit with a terminal pin for connection to the socket of a transducer is also interconnected with a flexible cable. The connector units can have a plurality of recesses and terminal pins mounted in a cantilevered arrangement from the bottom of the recess for interconnecting with a housing designed to fit within the recess. The terminal pins are shrouded from outside contact and preferably having a tubular configuration with an integral locking rim of a larger diameter. The terminal bores for receiving terminal pins includes an annular locking ring of a greater wear characteristic than the housing material of the connector units for receiving the locking rim on the terminal pin in a snap fitting action.
