Abstract
A proximal end of an implantable lead may include a connector insulator having a center bore, a unitary connector pin fixedly disposed in the center bore of the connector insulator where the unitary connector pin includes a socket end configured for insertion into an electrical stimulation device and a conductor end electrically crimped to the first conductor, and a unitary ring connector having a band portion concentrically arranged around and insulated from the conductor end of the unitary connector pin and a crimp portion electrically crimped to the second conductor.
Claims26
A proximal end of an implantable lead, wherein the lead includes a first and a second conductor, the proximal end comprising:
- a connector insulator having a center bore;
- a unitary connector pin fixedly disposed in the center bore of the connector insulator, the unitary connector pin having a socket end configured for insertion into an electrical stimulation device and a conductor end electrically crimped to the first conductor;
- and
- a unitary ring connector having a band portion concentrically arranged around and insulated from the conductor end of the unitary connector pin by the connector insulator and a crimp portion electrically crimped to the second conductor.
The proximal end of a lead of claim 16, wherein the boot seal comprises a plurality of circumferentially extending sealing ribs and prevents fluid from contacting the crimp portion of the ring connector.
An implantable medical electrical lead, comprising:
- a longitudinally extended body having a distal end and a proximal end and comprising a first conductor and a second conductor each extending from the distal end to the proximal end, wherein:
- the distal end comprises a passive mechanism in electrical communication with the first conductor;
- and
- the proximal end comprises:
- a unitary connector pin having a socket end configured for insertion into an electrical stimulation device and a conductor end electrically crimped to the first conductor;
- and
- a unitary ring connector having a band portion concentrically arranged around and insulated from the conductor end of the unitary connector pin and a crimp portion electrically crimped to the second conductor.
