Claim Text:
1. A method of assembling a passive medical lead, comprising mechanically and electrically coupling an inner conductor coil to a connector pin to form an inner conductor assembly; threading the inner conductor assembly through a connector insulator having a distal extension and a proximal extension; placing an insulator tubing over the inner conductor coil including sleeving a proximal end of the insulator tubing over the distal extension of the connector insulator to create electrical isolation by a fluid-tight, compression fit therebetween; mechanically and electrically coupling an outer conductor coil to a ring connector to form an outer conductor assembly; threading the inner conductor assembly through the outer conductor assembly and sleeving the ring connector on the distal extension of the connector insulator and over the insulator tubing; and sleeving a proximal seal over a socket end of the connector pin, including seating a flush portion of the proximal seal on the proximal extension of the connector insulator and seating a seal portion of the proximal seal on a bar portion of the connector pin between the socket end of the connector pin and the proximal extension of the connector insulator.
