1. In combination with a tissue stimulator having pulse generator means electrically interconnected with a source of electrical energy for producing electrical tissue stimulation impulses, lead connector means electrically interconnected with said generator means, and electrically conductive lead means attachable to said lead connector means for conducting the stimulation impulses to remote body tissue, the improvement in lead connector means for inhibiting the production of the stimulation impulses which comprises electrical insulating means providing an insulating barrier between first and second electrically conductive portions of said lead connector means, said first and second portions and said insulating means defining a receptacle providing a cavity for insertion therein of said lead means, said first and second portions extending partially around the circumference of said cavity and said insulating means being circumferentially interposed between said first and second portions, and circuit means for electrically interconnecting said source of electrical energy with said first and second portions of said lead connector means and said generator means, whereby said electrical interconnection between said generator means and said source of electrical potential is only effective when said electrically conductive lead means is attached to said first and second portions of said lead connector means.
