1. A multi-conductor lead assembly comprising:

  • a first lead including 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 said electrodes on said distal end portion with said sleeve electrodes on said proximal end portion;

    a second lead including a lead body having a proximal end, a proximal end portion, a distal end and a distal end portion, and an insulated wire conductor therein having a proximal end and a distal end;

    a terminal assembly including a terminal pin connected to said proximal end of said wire conductor in said second lead; and

    a connector assembly including a body, said distal end portion of said second lead being received in said body, a flexible insulated wire conductor having a proximal end in said body and electrically connected to said distal end of said wire conductor in said second lead and a distal end, a connector clip connected to said distal end of said flexible insulated wire conductor and adapted to make electrical contact with a selected one of said plurality of sleeve electrodes on said first lead, and means for insulating the connection between said connector clip and a selected one of said sleeve electrodes.
