Abstract
A connector for coupling a medical sensor to a medical monitor includes a first pin coupled and a second pin each electrically coupled to a first LED and to a second LED, respectively, of an emitter of the medical sensor. The connector includes a third pin electrically coupled to a cathode and a fourth pin electrically coupled to an anode of a detector of the medical sensor. The first pin and the second pin are arranged to have 180 degree symmetry relative to one another, and the third pin and the fourth pin are arranged to have 180 degree symmetry relative to one another.
