Abstract
In various examples, a component for a medical device is described. The component includes a conductor wire including a connection portion. An electrode is formed from a conductive tube. The conductive tube is compressed at least partially around the connection portion of the conductor wire to at least partially surround and couple to the connection portion.

(canceled)
A component for a medical device, the component comprising:
- a conductor wire including a connection portion;
- and
- an electrode formed from a conductive tube, wherein the conductive tube is compressed at least partially around the connection portion of the conductor wire to at least partially surround and couple to the connection portion, the electrode including:
- a flattened portion including a substantially flat surface configured to contact and stimulate tissue;
- and
- a leg extending from the flattened portion of the electrode, the flattened portion and the leg substantially forming a T-shape, wherein the connection portion of the conductor wire is disposed within the leg of the electrode.

A component for a medical device, the component comprising:
- a conductor wire including a connection portion;
- and
- an electrode formed from a conductive tube, wherein the conductive tube includes an inner surface facing inwardly toward an axis of the conductive tube and an outer surface facing outwardly away from the axis of the conductive tube, the connection portion of the conductor wire being coupled to a first portion of the inner surface, wherein the electrode includes the conductive tube collapsed such that at least the first portion of the inner surface and the connection portion of the conductor wire contacts at least a second portion of the inner surface to substantially sandwich the connection portion of the conductor wire between the first portion of the inner surface and the second portion of the inner surface, the electrode including:
- a flattened portion including a substantially flat surface configured to contact and stimulate tissue;
- and
- a leg extending outwardly from the flattened portion of the electrode, the flattened portion and the leg substantially forming a T-shape, wherein the connection portion of the conductor wire is disposed within the leg of the electrode.
