Zusammenfassung:A connector assembly (28) is provided for connecting an electrical lead (14) to the electrical contact (30) of an electrode (20). The connector assembly includes a retention plate (44) having an opening (50) configured to receive the electrical contact of the electrode therethrough such that the retention plate is held on the electrode, and a housing (26) including a body (54) and a receptacle (60) extending into the body. The receptacle includes a size and shape that is complimentarily to the electrical contact of the electrode such that the receptacle is configured to receive at least a portion of the electrical contact therein. The receptacle is configured such that when the electrical contact is received within the receptacle, the receptacle is configured to hold a portion of the electrical lead within the receptacle between the electrical contact and the body of the housing such that the electrical lead is engaged with and electrically connected to the electrical contact. A connection member (46) is configured to hold the housing on the retention plate.
