1. A plate electrode for engaging the surface of a body and an electrical connector comprising:

  • a plate electrode having an electrically conductive means, said electrically conductive means having a substantial surface area for surface engagement with the surface of the body to make a large surface electrical contact between the electrically conductive means and the body, and an electrical connector releasably attached to said plate electrode, said electrical connector having electrical conductor means located in substantial surface engagement with the electrically conductive means, first jaw means located on one side of said plate electrode, and second jaw means located on the opposite side of said plate electrode, said electrical connector means being attached to at least one of said jaw means, and releasable lock means operable to a first position to move the first and second jaw means together to thereby clamp the electrical conductor means in surface engagement with the electrically conductive means and movable to a second position to release the first and second jaw means to thereby release the clamp of the electrical conductor means from the electrically conductive means, said releasable lock means including first means mounted on the first jaw means and projected through holes in the first and second jaw means, said first means including a first member and a second member adjustably connected to the first member, cam means pivotally connected to said first means and engageable with the second jaw means, and second means secured to the cam means operable to move the cam means to a first position to locate the first and second jaw means in a clamped position whereby the electrical conductor means is held in surface engagement with the electrically conductive means, said cam means being movable to a second position to release the first and second jaw meanS whereby the plate electrode can be separated from the electrical connector.
