title: Technical note: new connecting devices for potential equalization.
abstract: Two types of new equipotential connecting devices have been developed for the medical electrical equipment. The features of each type include lower contact resistance, firm connection between socket and pin and a high level of safety. The results of testing a third type of connector (developed earlier) are included. They have individual features which users can select according to their particular purposes of use. The new devices will contribute to improved safety of the medical electrical equipment.
