Abstract

A connector for use with a tab style biomedical electrode is disclosed. The connector comprises pivotally mounted movable and fixed jaws and a spring biasing the jaws toward a closed position. The connector provides a high tab release force and yet provides an acceptably low actuation force. Preferably, the fixed jaw includes a smooth, continuous surface which facilitates insertion of the tab between the jaws of the connector.
