Abstract
The electrical connection of a tip electrode assembly to a pacing lead is effected by: providing bared end coils of a coiled conductor of the pacing lead; positioning the shank of a tip electrode adjacent a distal end of the bared end coils, the coils having a predetermined inner diameter and a predetermined outer diameter; positioning a conductive sleeve between the distal end of the bared end coils and the shank, the sleeve having a predetermined initial diameter greater than the outer diameter of the coils; positioning the bared end coils around the shank and the sleeve around the shank and bared end coils; and causing the sleeve to engage and force the bared end coils against the shank with the sleeve then having a smaller inner diameter.
