1. An electrical connector jack for an implantable cardiac stimulator, for making an electrical connection with a contact pin at an end of an electrode cable, said electrical connector jack comprising:

  • at least one disc shaped means, having a longitudinally extending opening adapted to receive a contact pin, containing a planar layer of electrically conductive material having a contact surface disposed in said opening for making electrical contact with said contact pin, said disc-shaped means having planar layers of insulating, elastic material respectively disposed on opposite sides of and parallel to said layer of electrically conductive material and at least in a region of said contact surface, said layers of insulating elastic material and said layer of electrically conductive material being collectively elastically deformed radially and longitudinally by said contact pin as long as said contact pin is inserted into said opening for producing a continuous surface of the electrically conductive material and the insulating material pressing against said contact pin for making an electrical connection with said contact pin while simultaneously protectively sealing said contact surface of said electrically conductive material.
