Abstract
A male connector (13; 20; 30; 40) for a sensor and guide wire assembly (1) for intravascular measurements of a physiological variable in a living body comprises a number of conductive members (12) separated by insulating materials (14, 15, 16; 23, 24, 25; 33, 34; 43). According to the invention, the insulating material has a hydrophobic outer surface (16; 25; 33; 43) to prevent electrically conductive contaminations from forming a superficial, electrically conductive path between two neighbouring conductive members.
