Implementations of the present disclosure involve an implantable medical pulse generator for administering electrotherapy via an implantable medical lead having a lead connector end on a proximal end of the lead. The pulse generator may include a can and a header coupled to the can. The header may include a lead connector end receiving receptacle for transmitting electrical pulses from the can to the lead through one or more electrical spring contacts in electrical communication with one or more terminals of the lead connector end. The one or more spring contacts may include a triangular shaped metal spring within a housing that forms an electrical contact with the lead connector end when the one or more terminals of the lead connector end is inserted into the header. Alternatively, the metal spring may take other shapes, such as, for example, circular, elliptical, or rectangular.
