Abstract
A hub () includes a first lead receptacle having a plurality of contacts () for electrically coupling a lead to an implantable electrical device. The hub further contains a second lead receptacle having a plurality of contacts for electrically coupling a lead to the implantable electrical device. At least one of the plurality of contacts of the first receptacle is a contact of the second receptacle. Such a configuration may allow for the overall size of the hub to be reduced relative to a hub where each discrete contact of the hub corresponds to a discrete contact or electrical channel of the implantable electrical device.
