Abstract
A clamping contact connection is provided for contacting a fetal scalp electrode, which is fixable to the head of the fetus by means of a tubular insertion, aid with a leg plate fittable to the expectant mother. The clamping contact connection comprises a first contact element, which is at least partly wedge-shaped or tapers and has at least two outer contact faces, and a second contact element openable on its front end and which has at least two openable jaws with inner contact faces. During contacting, the jaws of the second contact element engage round at least the wedge-shaped or tapering area of the first contact element. Additional holding elements prevent the unintentional separation of the clamping contact connection. The connection permits an easy manufacture of the individual elements, good cleaning, safe and rapid connection and also separation of the contact elements, as well as adequate protection against accidental, incorrect mains connection.
