  • (a) providing an elongated lead body having an internal longitudinally extending lumen, an outer peripheral surface, and a circumference;

    (b) forming a generally radially directed bore extending between the lumen and the outer peripheral surface;

    (c) drawing an elongated conductor cable into and through the lumen of the lead body such that a terminal end thereof projects through and beyond the generally radially directed bore;

    (d) slidably attaching a metallic tube onto the conductor cable adjacent the terminal end thereof without enclosing the leadbody;

    (e) firmly joining the metallic tube and the conductor cable; and

    (f) affixing the metallic tube to a tubular electrode coaxial with, and overlying, the lead body.
