Claim 0:
1. An electrode lead, comprising:
an elongated lead body having a proximal end and a distal end;
a lead connector including a planar connector substrate disposed at a proximal end of the lead body, at least one connector pad carried by the connector substrate, at least one rigid connector contact having an arcuate surface affixed to the connector substrate and electrically coupled respectively to the at least one connector pad, and a cylindrical, rigid, electrical insulator at least partially encapsulating the connector substrate and the at least one connector contact, such that only the arcuate surface of each of the at least one connector contact is exposed;
an electrode carrying structure disposed at a distal end of the lead body;
at least one electrode contact carried by the electrode carrying structure; and
at least one electrical conductor extending through the lead body between the at least one connector contact and the at least one electrode contact.
