EEG DIN connector
The EEG DIN connector (also referred to as DIN 42802 or EEG safety DIN connector) is an
electrodes for electroencephalography
.
In 1989, the Deutsches Institut für Normung issued DIN 42802,[1] standardizing a "touch-proof connector for electromedical applications." It became widely adopted when regulatory bodies pressured the industry to insulate connectors in clinical settings, as specified in IEC 60601-1 (subclause 56.3(c)).
The EEG DIN connector has two variations, both featuring touch-proof sockets around in-line rigid plugs:
- The DIN 42802-1 connector with a 1.5 mm diameter pin, formally specified in DIN 42802; and
- The E-DIN 42802-2 connector with a 2 mm diameter pin, a de facto standard[2] not specified in DIN 42802
