Abstract
An electrical connection system to electrically connect an internal electrical device (2) positioned inside an animal's body with an external electrical device (3) positioned outside the animal's body. The system includes a cable (4) positioned at least partially inside the animal's body and enclosing at least one electrical wire. The cable (4) has at one end a first connector (5) to connect the at least one electrical wire with an external electrical device (3). The cable (4) has at its other end a second connector (1) placed inside the animal's body. The second connector (1) has connectors to allow an electrical connection between the at least one cable (4) and the internal electrical device (2). The second connector (1) includes additional connectors to allow a removable electrical connection between at least one electrical wire external to the cable (4) and the internal electrical device (2).
