<p>A connector assembly (120) of an implantable medical electrical lead includes insulation and conductor segments, which may be formed together in a molded subassembly. The insulation segment includes at least one sealing surface (ss1, ss2) and the conductor segment includes at least one contact surface (cs1, cs2) and a shank (278) electrically common therewith. The shank has a smaller diameter than a uniform outer diameter of the assembly, which is defined by the sealing and contact surfaces, and the smaller diameter is sized to receive a coiled proximal end (312) of a lead conductor mounted thereabout. The connector assembly may include another conductor segment that has a third contact surface (cs3), active or inactive, extending between third and fourth sealing surfaces (ss3, ss4) of another insulation segment of the assembly; if active, a distal shank of the segment is electrically common with the third contact surface and sized to receive a coiled proximal end of another lead conductor mounted thereabout.</p> |
