A contact assembly of a medical device includes a sidewall, surrounding a bore that receives axial insertion of a medical electrical lead connector; the bore extends along a longitudinal axis of the contact assembly, and first and second contact clips are mounted on, or attached to the sidewall, such that opposing first and second legs of each clip extend into the bore of the contact assembly. The mounted contact clips may be approximately 90 degrees offset from one another about a perimeter of the bore. The mounted contact clips may form a single electrical coupling, for example, if the sidewall is conductive, or individual and separate electrical couplings, for example, if the sidewall is non-conductive. The first and second legs of each contact clip may bend into and out from the bore, such that first and second terminal ends of each clip are located outside the bore.
