An implantable lead may have a distal assembly including a coupler, a terminal pin and a conductive member rotatably secured to both the coupler and the terminal pin. The conductive member may be a fine-wire, multiple-filar coil. The conductive member may be welded to the coupler and/or the terminal pin by welding through banded portions formed within the distal and proximal ends, respectively, of the conductive member.
