ABSTRACT:
A system for connecting electrical leads having connector assemblies carrying electrical connectors to an implantable electrical device having a device housing containing electrical circuitry, including a first connector module fixedly mounted to the device housing, with a first set of electrical connectors coupled to the circuitry within the device housing and a second connector module, with a second set of electrical connectors engageable with the first set of connectors and a second set of connectors electrically coupled to the second set of connectors and engageable with the connectors on the electrical leads and a mechanism for retaining the second module on an outer surface of the device housing adjacent the first module while the second set of connectors engages the first set of connectors. The first and second sets of connectors preferably engage one another as a result of movement of the second module in a first direction into engagement with the second connector module and the retaining mechanism preferably functions to engage and retain the second connector module on the outer surface of the device housing during movement of the second module in the first direction.
