    Abstract: A sterility separation element can be arranged between plug connectors of a plug connection/electro-mechanical lock to provide sterility separation of the plug connectors. The plug connection/electro-mechanical lock has at least one electrical contact pin that penetrates the sterility separation element such that the sterility separation element fits directly to the electrical contact pin over its entire circumference in a germ-tight manner. The electrical contact pin has two free pin ends configured to come into electro-mechanical or electroconductive plug contact with corresponding electrical plug sockets of at least two lines to be connected.

    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a slip-ring contact assembly. The slip-ring contact assembly includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of slots. A plurality of slip-ring contacts is operably supported in the insulative housing. Each slip-ring contact is configured to engage one or more electrical contacts formed circumferentially around a rotatable shaft of the surgical instrument. Each slip-ring contact includes a tang extending through a corresponding slot defined in the insulative housing and configured to be operably connected to an external wire connection. The plurality of slip-ring contacts is configured to allow unlimited rotation of the rotatable shaft while maintaining continuous electrical contact between each slip-ring contact and the corresponding electrical contact of the rotatable shaft.

    Abstract: A connector assembly, for example, employed in an extension of an implantable medical electrical system, may be contained in a flexible insulative sleeve so that a bore thereof extends along a longitudinal axis of the sleeve with an opening being formed by a distal terminal end of the sleeve. The assembly includes a plurality of isolation ring components interspersed among a plurality of contact ring components, wherein each of a plurality of conductor components has a first end coupled to a corresponding contact ring component, and a curvature formed along a length thereof, which length extends proximally from the coupled first end and into a proximal portion of the sleeve. To facilitate routing of the conductor component lengths, either each isolation ring component may include at least one guide, or a flexible inner insulative sleeve of the assembly may have longitudinally extending channels formed in an outer surface thereof.
