摘要

A conductor 21 embedded in the insulating layers 3, 4 of an implantable lead l is connected to an electrode by arranging the conductor to be included as one pole in a high voltage circuit where the other pole is a needle 8 or the like placed in the vicinity of the conductor 21. The voltage is increased until an insulating layer puncturing flash-over between the conductor and the needle takes place. The flash-over arc is maintained to burn a hole l2 in the insulation layers 3, 4 so that the conductor can e.g. be brought out with a curved tool 9 to form a connecting end to be applied to the electrode.
