1. An implantable lead connector assembly for separably, electrically connecting at least one electrode lead having at least one proximal contact to an implantable device, the lead connector assembly comprising:

  • a connector housing having an open position adapted for accepting said at least one electrode lead and a closed position and said closable connector housing comprising seals adapted to isolate each said at least one proximal contact in said closed position, and at least one resilient electrical conductive member within said connector housing in electrical contact with a terminal adapted to connect said resilient electrical conductive member to said implantable device, said at least one resilient electrical conductive member further adapted to contact one of said at least one proximal contact of said at least one electrode lead, and whereby changing said closable connector housing from said open position to said closed position compresses each said at least one resilient electrical conductive member contacting a proximal contact and isolates each said at least one proximal contact.
