An electrode cable connector 30 is provided so that the casing can be detached and replaced easily, even in the presence of organic liquids. A telemetric coil is contained in a metal tube which extends outside the casing; the two ends of the tube containing the coil are hermetically sealed in the casing by means of ceramic insulating bushes 14. <IMAGE>
