Abstract: An implantable electrostimulation device and an electrode lead is devised ere for the electrical connection of the electrode lead, the top portion of the electrostimulation device has a securely installed connecting socket with radially inward pointing contact and holding devices on its inside wall, which are designed to engage with the electrode lead contact. The contact and holding means are formed by a plurality of cam and projection regions that are securely connected to the inside wall or formed out of this wall and are each at a predetermined angular distance in a circumferential direction of the socket. The electrode lead has a pin or annular contact for inserting into a connecting socket of the electro-stimulation device, which has radially outward pointing contact and holding units on its surface for engaging with the connecting socket.
