A connector for placing an elongate endovascular device and an electrical accessory item into electrical connection is described. A connector body with longitudinally separated proximal and distal body ends is electrically connected to the electrical accessory item. A connection cavity extends into, and partially through, the connector body from a cavity aperture in the distal body end. At least one electrical connector contact is located in the connection cavity. The electrical connector contact is configured for longitudinal alignment with, and electrical communication to, at least a conductive portion of the endovascular device selectively present in the connection cavity. A device grasper is operable to selectively maintain the conductive portion of the endovascular device longitudinally within the connection cavity. A method and system for using the connector are also disclosed.
