Also called Limb Clamp Electrode · Crocodile Clip Electrode

Clamps by spring over the wrist or ankle, pressing a flat metal plate to the skin for the limb leads instead of adhering like a chest tab.

An ECG limb clamp electrode is a reusable spring clamp that carries the heart's signal from the skin of a limb to a lead wire. Two molded arms pivot on a pin against a return spring, and a conductive plate set into one jaw presses on the forearm or wrist and the lower leg or ankle. The plate is stainless steel, or brass plated with silver, silver chloride or nickel, chosen for low contact resistance rather than for strength. The back of the clamp carries a fixed connector for the lead wire. Four are used at a time, one at each limb position, and each carries a color from one of the two lead color codes. Under IEC 60601-2-25 the right arm is red, the left arm yellow, the left leg green and the right leg black; under the American Heart Association code the right arm is white, the left arm black, the left leg red and the right leg green. The two codes are never mixed on one set. It differs from a limb plate electrode, which is a flat pad held by a strap, and from a chest electrode, which holds by suction.

How it is built

  • Spring clamp: two molded arms on a pivot pin with a return spring
  • Conductive plate set into one jaw, in stainless steel or in brass plated with silver, silver chloride or nickel
  • Fixed connector at the back for the lead wire: a screw post taking a 3.2 mm (1/8 in) pin, a 4 mm banana plug, a pinch fitting for a bare wire end, or a 3 mm pin socket the trade calls DIN
  • The 3 mm socket called DIN in this trade is not the 1.5 mm touchproof pin of DIN 42802, which belongs to EEG leads
  • Molded plastic body, latex free, reusable, supplied non sterile
  • Adult and pediatric sizes are cataloged as separate articles
  • Colored to one code and one only: IEC 60601-2-25 red right arm, yellow left arm, green left leg, black right leg; or the American Heart Association code, white right arm, black left arm, red left leg, green right leg
  • Holds by spring pressure, unlike the limb plate electrode held by a strap or the chest electrode held by suction

The standard sizes this kind of instrument is made in

Adult clamp body: catalogs publish 130 mm to 150 mm long by about 30 mm wide. No standard fixes the dimension, so this is the spread across makers · Supplied four to a set, one for each limb position · Lead connector: 4 mm banana plug · Lead connector: 3 mm pin socket, called DIN in this trade · Lead connector: 3.2 mm (1/8 in) post · Color code, IEC 60601-2-25: red right arm, yellow left arm, green left leg, black right leg · Color code, American Heart Association: white right arm, black left arm, red left leg, green right leg

These are the sizes the pattern is manufactured in across the trade. They are not a stock list. Tell us the size you need and we will quote against it.

Every batch of steel is ordered to a specified grade and arrives with the mill's own certificate, which identifies the mill and states the grade. TGI checks the material at the factory against its own requirement before it goes into production. That check is TGI's own inspection, not an independent laboratory test.

TGI manufactures in its own factory in Sialkot and also supplies articles made by contracted partner workshops, to TGI's specification. Which applies to a given article is confirmed on your order.
