Abstract
An electrical stimulation lead connector includes a connector housing and a plurality of contacts. The connector housing defines a lead lumen having a width, a lead receiving opening, an end stop, a midpoint between the lead receiving opening and the end stop, and a longitudinal length extending from the lead receiving opening to the end stop. The width of the lead lumen decreases from the lead receiving opening to the midpoint and from the midpoint to the end stop. The plurality of contacts is disposed in the connector housing and longitudinally spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal length of the lead lumen. Each of the contacts is configured and arranged to electrically couple to a corresponding terminal of a lead body when an end portion of the lead body is inserted into the lead lumen.
