At least one of the conduit 5 and the electrode is at least partly receivable within the other and each has a contacting surface for contacting the contacting surface of the other for electrically and mechanically connecting the electrode and the conduit when so received. At least one of the contacting surfaces has at least one discontinuity to allow for resilient deformation of at least one of the conduit and the electrode. 101/1 40 190 ( 180 190 100 50 20 170 207 30 20 Fig 1 30 Fig 2 40 10 20 50 30 ,Fig 3 100g 110 120 60 130 '''' 140 160 '' L 70 10 8 90 Fig 4 200 30
