EEG DIN connector (original) (raw)

The EEG DIN connector (also referred to as DIN 42802 or EEG safety DIN connector) is an electrical connector used to connect medical and biomedical recording systems, such as electrodes to electroencephalograph (EEG) as used in neurology. This type of connector is the de facto standard for electromedical instruments as it was adopted by the industry under pressure from regulatory bodies (including the FDA) to impose insulated connectors in clinical settings for safety reasons through the IEC 60601-1 (subclause 56.3(c)) norm.
