An electrosurgical system includes a first component (11) and a second component (7) detachably connected one to the other. The first component is provided with a socket (33) including a plurality of contacts (34 to 40), and the second component is provided with a plug (17) including one or more pins (19). The arrangement is such that when the plug (17) is received within the socket (33) the one or more pins (19) make electrical contact with a particular combination of the plurality of contacts (34 to 40). The electrosurgical system is provided with means for identifying the second component (7) by determining the combination of contacts (34 to 40) in which the one or more pins (19) are in electrical contact. |
