Abstract
A connector system for an active implantable medical device including a generator and a connector head (10) equipped with a plurality of parallel axial cavities (12) receiving respective probe connectors (14), and a reversible means for mechanical tightening of each probe connector in its cavity. The tightening can be obtained by retractable elements (32) actuated simultaneously by a common element (36, 38, 40) movable between two positions, one locked and the other unlocked. The retractable elements project radially inside each respective cavity when the common element is in a locked position to exert a radial contact pressure on each probe connector insert therein, preferably on electrically insulating areas (20, 22) of the probe connectors. The retractable elements (32) are preferably carried by a common barrel (28) movable in rotation around a central axis of the connector head.
