An implantable medical lead for spinal cord stimulation includes a lead paddle having an array of multiple overlapping electrode contacts each coupled to a wire conductor of a lead body. The wire conductor in turn may be coupled to an implantable pulse generator or other stimulation device. The lead paddle with an array of overlapping electrode contacts provides more complete electrical stimulation coverage to targeted human tissue because there is no potential for a targeted fiber to pass through the overlapping array of electrode contacts without having some potential for correct electrical stimulation by a contact.
