Abstract
A cardiac stimulator lead connector is provided. The connector includes a pin member that has a distal end and a first insulating sleeve coupled to the pin member. An annular member is coupled to the first insulating sleeve. A conductor sleeve is coupled to the annular member and a second insulating sleeve is coupled to the conductor sleeve. One or more conductor wires running from distal electrodes in a lead may be welded to the connector. The connector eliminates crimping as a mechanism to secure lead conductors to lead connectors.
