A clip-on module having a specialized housing design, probe contacts, switches, various advertising modes, and various configurations of signal repeaters is disclosed. The module is utilized via attachment to a specialized garment worn by a human patient. To properly apply the housing to the garment, a user will squeeze the module to open using tactile features embedded within the housing, locate the module, and then press-clamp the module to close and attach it. A plurality of probe contacts within the module have sharpness requirements for penetrating one or more layers of the garment while still maintaining low resistance, and will work with a backing material for probe.

A plug-in connector includes a first housing part having a plug-in contact element and a plurality of blades electrically connected to the plug-in contact element and a second housing part having a receiving region with a receiving direction. The second housing part has a first pair of spring elements arranged resiliently in the receiving region on a first side of the receiving direction and a second pair of spring elements arranged resiliently in the receiving region on a second side of the receiving direction.

An insulation displacement connection system having a connection terminal, a pocket for accommodating the connection terminal, and an enameled wire spirally wound around a pin is provided. The pocket is frontally delimited by the pin, at the back by a rear wall and laterally by a pair of side guide walls suitable for guiding the connection terminal during an insertion of the connection terminal into the pocket. The connection terminal is provided with a single tab shaped to elastically intercept the pin so as to exert an abrasive action on the enameled wire during the insertion of the connection terminal into the pocket and to elastically bias the enameled wire to abut against the pin upon the insertion of the connection terminal into the pocket, ensuring an electrical connection between the single tab and the enameled wire.

An electrosurgical assembly for use with an electrosurgical controller is disclosed. The electrosurgical assembly includes a guidewire having an electrically conductive mandrel extending along a shaft. The distal portion of the shaft includes an electrode electrically coupled to the mandrel, and the shaft includes an electrical insulator disposed on the mandrel and extending to a proximal end. The electrosurgical assembly also includes a connector. The connector includes a cable to be coupled to the electrosurgical controller, a housing coupled to the cable, the housing having a guidewire passageway to receive the shaft of the guidewire, and a conductive member within the housing and electrically coupled to the cable. The conductive member includes a conductive contact member. The conductive contact member is adjacent the guidewire passageway to penetrate the electrical insulator and make electrical contact with the mandrel when the shaft of the guidewire is in the guidewire passageway.

A contact is accommodated in a contact accommodating portion of a second insulator, an end portion of an electric wire is accommodated in an opened electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion of a projection of a first insulator, the projection is accommodated in a projection accommodating portion of a contact with a flexible conductor being sandwiched therebetween and such that the opened electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion is opposed to an electric-wire connection piece of the contact, the electric wire extends from the electric-wire-end-portion accommodating portion and makes contact with an electric-wire contact portion of the electric-wire connection piece of the contact, and a part of the flexible conductor is sandwiched between an outer surface of the projection and a conductor contact piece of the contact and makes contact with the conductor contact piece of the contact, whereby the electric wire is electrically connected to the flexible conductor via the contact.
