Claim Text:
1. A bipolar active cardiac lead comprising a helical anchor electrode; a tip electrode pin configured at a proximal end for engagement with an inner conductor coil and configured at a distal end for engagement with a proximal end of the helical anchor electrode; an intermediate connection mount defining an axial lumen therethrough, a proximal fitting, a cylindrical flange, and a distal fitting; a ring electrode having an exposed section configured to sleeve over and connect with the proximal fitting of the intermediate connection mount and a proximal sleeve configured for engagement with an outer conductor coil and an outer sheath of the lead; and a tip housing defining an axial bore configured to house the helical anchor electrode and a distal portion of the tip electrode pin; wherein a proximal portion of the tip electrode pin is housed within the axial lumen of the intermediate connection mount, a proximal end of the tip housing is configured to sleeve over and directly engage the distal fitting of the intermediate connection mount, and the cylindrical flange of the intermediate connection mount, the exposed section of the ring electrode and the tip housing have a same outer diameter.
