Abstract
Systems and methods which provide radial exterior weld terminal configurations for medical device leads are described. A radial exterior weld terminal may comprise an annular conductive structure having a radial exterior weld interface feature, wherein a medical device lead may comprise one or more radial exterior weld terminals. A radial exterior weld interface feature may be disposed at an end of the annular conductive structure and may configure the annular conductive structure to accept a non-axially directed portion of a conductive wire for interfacing a conductor with a weld location on an outer surface of the radial exterior weld terminal. The radial exterior weld interface feature may comprise a truncated aperture configured for the non-axially directed portion of conductive wire to traverse from the inner space to the outer surface. The truncated aperture may comprise a dimple member depressed into the interior space of the annular conductive structure.
