An implantable medical device includes an electrically conductive first housing, a conductive feedthrough extending through the first housing, electronic circuitry positioned within the first housing, a device electrode, and a second housing. The electronic circuitry is electrically coupled to the first housing and the feedthrough, and senses electrical signals of a patient and/or delivers electrical stimulation therapy to the patient via the first housing and the feedthrough. The device electrode is configured to electrically connect with tissue and/or a fluid at a target site in the patient. A lead connector is configured to connect to a proximal end of an implantable medical lead. The lead connector includes a first connector contact electrically coupled to the feedthrough and a second connector contact electrically coupled to the first housing.
