Abstract
An electrical brain contact device and device for connecting a plurality of lead wires with individual take-up terminals is described. The lead wires in the brain contact device extend to a terminal mount with an array of lead-wire terminals on it. A connector assembly includes a connector block with a matching array of take-up terminals and an elongate cavity to receive the terminal mount, and a mechanism to removably draw the take-up terminals into terminal-to-terminal contact with the terminal mount to facilitate electrical connection.
