1. An electrical stimulation system comprising:
a lead connector comprising a body comprising at least one funnel shaped end;
a coiled lead inserted into said funnel shaped end, wherein the lead connector establishes an electrical connection with the coiled lead and wherein the coiled lead has an engagement force when inserted into a body of a patient;
a patient cable selectively attachable to the body, wherein the lead connector establishes an electrical connection with the patient cable; and
wherein the lead connector further comprises a breakaway mechanism configured to selectively disconnect the patient cable from the body upon application of a force exceeding a predetermined force, wherein the predetermined force is less than the engagement force.
