A connector for a catheter has a female-connector body with at least one mating surface. The mating surface is an inner surface of the female-connector body adapted to an outer surface of a male-connector body that has electrically conductive male-connector terminals thereon. One or more printed circuit boards are coupled to the inner surface of the female-connector body. The printed circuit boards have electrically conductive female-connector terminals that contact a respective one of the male-connector terminals when the male-connector body is inside the female-connector body. The printed circuit boards have terminations that are linked to the female-connector terminals, wherein the terminations respectively comprise a first subconnector in galvanic contact with the printed circuit boards and configured to mate with a second subconnector.
