Abstract
A body implantable stimulator having a signal generator and lead electrically and mechanically interconnected by a preformed connector. The connector carries terminals to establish electrical communication between the signal generator and the lead, passageways being provided in the connector body to accept and guide the signal generator output connections and lead into contact with the terminals. In a preferred embodiment, the terminals are provided with intersecting bores such that an output connection and lead contact each other within a terminal. The preformed connector may be mechanically fastened to the signal generator.
