Abstract
Abstract A cable connector for a multiplicity of electrical lines is disclosed. The cable connector is adapted to be connected to a banana plug. A protective resistor is provided inside the cable connector in order to protect the electrical lines. By providing the protective resistor inside of the cable connector, a banana plug insulating jacket can be more easily provided in the banana plug housing, and the cable connector remains protected at all times.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A cable connector arrangement which connects a multiplicity n of separate body electrode cables to an at least n-pole trunk cable having a first connector fixedly connected thereto that is connectable to a control apparatus, comprising: an intermediate connector having a plurality of contacts which receives one end of the body electrode cables and having a second connector for receiving the first connector of said trunk cable; and protective resistors within the intermediate connector, each arranged in series in an electrical connection with at least one of said contacts and a pole of said second connector.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A cable connector arrangement which connects a multiplicity n of separate body electrode cables to an at least n-pole trunk cable having a first connector fixedly connected thereto that is connectable to a control apparatus, comprising: an intermediate connector having a plurality of contacts which receives one end of the body electrode cables and having a second connector for receiving the first connector of said trunk cable; and protective resistors within the intermediate connector, each arranged in series in an electrical connection with at least one of said contacts and a pole of said second connector.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
73 words
The cable connector according to claim 1, wherein the other end of each body electrode cable is connected to a banana plug, said banana plug comprising: an electrically conductive connector contact having a non-conductive insulating tip; an insulating jacket slidably disposed around said connector contact; and a housing means adapted to receive said insulating jacket having a restoring spring means for normally biasing said insulating jacket in a position surrounding said connector contact.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
79 words
The cable connector according to claim 1, wherein the other ends of the multiplicity of body electrode cables are connected to; a plurality of banana plugs each of said banana plugs comprising: an electrically conductive connector contact having a non-conductive insulating tip; an insulating jacket slidably disposed around said connector contact; and a housing means adapted to receive said insulating jacket having a restoring spring means for normally biasing said insulating jacket in a position surrounding said connector contact.
