Abstract
The multi-conductor lead assembly comprises a first lead, a second lead and a connector assembly for connecting the leads together. The first lead includes a lead body having a distal end portion with a plurality of electrodes thereon, a proximal end portion with a plurality of sleeve electrodes thereon and a plurality of insulated wire conductors within the lead body and electrically connecting the electrodes on the distal end portion with the sleeve electrodes on the proximal end portion. The second lead includes a lead body with a proximal end, a proximal end portion, a distal end and a distal end portion, and a plurality of insulated wire conductors therein. Each of the one wire conductors has a proximal end and a proximal end portion extending out of the proximal end of the lead body. A sleeve connector is mounted on each wire conductor proximal end portion, and a needle is connected to the proximal ends of the wire conductors. The connector assembly includes a body, the distal end portion of the second lead being received in the body, a plurality of connector clips in the body adapted to receive and to make electrical contact with respective ones of the plurality of sleeve electrodes on the first lead, leafs or blades for electrically connecting each of the wire conductors in the second lead with one of the connector clips, and a closure sleeve for insulating the connection between the connector clips and the sleeve electrodes.
