Medical devices include an elongate tubular shaft having a first and opposite second end; an electrical component located proximate the first end; a plurality of electrical conductors extending through the shaft and in electrical communication with the electrical component; and an interposer element mechanically and electrically coupling electrical conductors to the electrical component. The interposer element includes a backing element defining a longitudinal axis thereof and having a first and opposite second end portion. The first end portion having a forward edge defined by a center forward edge portion and first and second lateral forward edge portions on opposite sides thereof. The first and second lateral forward edge portions angularly extend relative to the center forward edge portion. The forward edge being shaped to facilitate, during assembly of the medical device, advancement of the interposer element through the elongate shaft with electrical conductors pre-attached to the interposer element.
