1. An electrical contact connector for electrically coupling a lead contact ring or plurality of lead contact rings of a stimulation, recording and/or data transmission lead to an active implantable medical device, said electrical contact connector comprising:
a unibody housing having a hollow center for reception of said stimulation, recording and/or data transmission lead;
said hollow center exhibiting a center axis made to run coaxially with a centrally deposed axis of said stimulation, recording and/or data transmission lead;
said unibody housing exhibiting integrated, internal upper and lower depressions, each containing securing posts, for internalized positioning and securing of a set of two coil springs that are parallel;
said set of parallel coil springs exhibited coplanar within said unibody housing;
said set of parallel coil springs and said unibody housing configured to be oriented perpendicular to said stimulation, recording and/or data transmission lead;
said each coil spring having a first and second open end:
said first and second open ends positioned into integrated, internal upper and lower depressions and onto stabilizing posts, centrally within each coil spring end;
said unibody housing exhibiting internal side recesses for outward radial expansion of said each coil spring of said set of parallel coil springs upon side load spring contact via stimulation, recording and/or data transmission lead insertion;
each coil spring of said set of parallel coil springs made to at least partially extend into said hollow center and made to accept said lead contact ring; and
said set of parallel coil springs made to accept exactly one lead contact ring.
