<p>An implantable connector, implantable lead assemblies, and implantable lead assembly kits. The connector comprises an electrically insulative receptacle having a port configured for receiving an electrical lead body portion that carries an electrical terminal, and an electrical spring clip contact mounted within the receptacle. The electrical contact includes a collar and opposing lever arms. The collar is configured for being placed between an expanded state for receiving the terminal therein when the lead body portion is received within the port, and a collapsed state to firmly engage the terminal. The opposing lever arms are configured for being displaced using a tool to correspondingly place the collar between the expanded state and the collapsed state. The implantable connector can be incorporated into a lead and used to receive another lead to form the lead assembly. A tool can be provided with the connector to provide the lead assembly kit.</p>
