In a connector for interconnecting a furcated lead (10) and signal generator (16) to form a body implantable stimulator, the connector (17) is secured to the signal generator to form a signal generator assembly. Jacks (26, 30) are provided in the connector to receive the lead furculae while facilitating conformance of furculae to the configuration of the signal generator on wrapping of the furculae around the signal generator (16). The jacks (26, 30) accept the furculae at different distances from the signal generator to allow a thinner signal generator assembly and at different depths to compensate for the difference in distance of the jacks (26, 30) from the signal generator (16). In this way the hitherto encountered problem of fibrosis caused by the excess length of furculae is greatly reduced. |
