Claim:
1. A method of manufacturing a stimulation lead comprising: providing a plurality of conductive contacts located at an end of a lead body and providing a plurality of conductor wires disposed in a plurality of conductor lumens formed in the lead body and extending beneath one or more of the conductive contacts, wherein each of the conductor wires is disposed within one of the plurality of conductor lumens and each of the conductor lumens of the plurality of conductor lumens has at least one of the conductor wires of the plurality of conductor wires disposed therein, wherein a portion of each of the conductor wires is disposed radially beneath at least one of the conductive contacts; connecting at least one of the plurality of conductor wires to each of the conductive contacts; and placing non-conductive material into a void space beneath the conductive contacts that is not occupied by the conductor wires, wherein at least a portion of the non-conductive material is radially disposed beneath at least one of the conductive contacts.
