Abstract

The pacing lead assembly includes a multiconductor pacing lead including a plurality of wire conductors within a sheath of insulating material. A connector assembly surrounds the proximal end of the pacing lead and includes spaced apart metal bands on the sheath with each one of the wire conductors electrically connected to one of the metal bands. The connector assembly also includes insulating segments between the metal bands and a resilient conductive ring on each metal band adapted to make electrical connection with a metal ring in a socket in a pulse generator into which the connector assembly is inserted. The metal bands are spool-shaped with end flanges that provide means for retaining each resilient conductive ring in place on the metal band.
