Abstract:
A disposable blood pressure sensor assembly (10) includes a blood pressure sensor module (12), an electrical cable (18) extending from the blood pressure sensor module (12), and an electrical connector (20) carried on the electrical cable (18). The electrical connector (20) forms a projecting portion (38) having an end surface (58). The electrical cable (18) has a cable jacket (68) which forms an end surface (66). The electrical connector (20) includes a conductor contact portion (60) of each of the electrical conductors (62) of the electrical cable (18), which conductor contact portion (60) is un-insulated and is arrayed and disposed outwardly on the connector (20) for direct electrical contact. Connector end surface (58) and cable jacket end surface (66) cooperatively define the surface across which conductor contact portions (60) extend. The connector (20) and its matching connector (22) include, respectively, a slot (72) and a key (76) for polarization and detents (82) and a pin (80) for connector latching. Also included in connector (20) is an air vent slot (104).
