Abstract
A connector that includes contact assemblies and non-conductive stack spacers separating the contact assemblies from each other, the contact assemblies and the stack spacers defining a connector lumen configured to receive a portion of an electrical stimulation lead. The contact assemblies and stack spacers are brazed together forming a sealed connector stack that resists passage of fluid between the contact assemblies and stack spacers. Alternatively or additionally, the stack spacers are made of a non-conductive ceramic, crystalline, or glass material.
