1. A header assembly for electrically connecting differently configured quadrapolar cardiac lead systems to a cardiac stimulator, comprising:

  • a housing having first and second ports extending from a side surface and adapted for sealably receiving a lead system plug, each port being comprised of first and second substantially aligned longitudinal bores, the lead system plug being comprised of at least two lead connectors, each lead connector having a terminal pin and at least three terminal contacts;

    an electrically conductive terminal block positioned within each first bore, each terminal block being electrically connectable to the terminal pin of the respective lead connector, each terminal block being electrically connected to the cardiac stimulator;

    at least three electrically conductive spring clip contacts positioned within each second bore, each spring clip contact being electrically connectable to a respective terminal contact, each spring clip contact being electrically connected to the cardiac stimulator;

    seals located on both sides of each spring clip contact, one such seal being located between the terminal block and the spring clip contact closest to the terminal block in each port, the seals being comprised of an electrically insulating material; and

    a jumper connection electrically connecting one of the spring clip contacts located in the first port to one of the spring clip contacts located in the second port.
