Abstract
A method for making a medical electrical lead electrode assembly includes the steps of: forming an insulative carrier from an insulative material; coupling at least one conductive component to the carrier by inserting at least one tab of the at least one conductive component through the carrier, the tab extending away from an electrode portion of the component such that, after the tab is inserted, the electrode portion is disposed on a first side of the carrier and the tab is disposed on a second side of the carrier; coupling an elongate flexible conductor to the tab of the at least one component; and forming an insulative layer over the tab and the conductor on the second side of the carrier.
