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, a cylindrical connector portion having at least one connector contact, at least one wire respectively coupled between the at least one connector pad and the at least one connector contact, and a cylindrical, rigid, electrical insulator encapsulating the connector substrate;
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.
