A connector arrangement for a lead for an implantable stimulation device, such as a heart pacemaker, has a receptacle in which a proximal end of a lead is received and a fixing element which is disposed tangentially relative to the proximal end of the lead. The fixing element can assume a first position which provides enough clearance in the receptacle to permit insertion of the proximal end of the lead, and a second position wherein the fixing element forces the proximal end of the lead tightly against a portion of the wall of the receptacle, so that the proximal end is held tightly in the receptacle to make a reliable mechanical and electrical connection. The arrangement permits the housing of the stimulation device to have a small thickness dimension.
