Abstract
A connector for electrically and mechanically coupling a lead pin to a pulse generator that includes a housing and a plunger having openings which can be aligned in an unlocked position to permit insertion and retraction of the lead pin. The connector also has a biasing member which moves and then holds the plunger in a locked position relative to the housing such that the housing and plunger pinch the lead pin thereby coupling the lead pin to the connector.
