One embodiment includes a tubular housing for electrically connecting an implantable stimulation device to an implantable electrical stimulation lead. The tubular housing includes a tubular outer segment including a first material, a tubular middle segment inside the outer segment in contact with the outer segment including a second material, and a tubular inner segment inside the middle segment in contact with the middle segment including a third material. A circumferential groove in the inner segment exposes a portion of the middle segment to an axial hole through the tubular housing. The groove is adapted to receive a coiled spring. The groove enables transmission of stimulation pulses from the exposed portion of the middle segment, through the coiled spring, to the stimulation lead inserted through the axial hole for stimulation of tissue in a patient.
