Abstract:
Distal connector assemblies that are on the distal end of medical lead extensions provide increased rigidity by including a rigid holder that contains the electrical connectors. The electrical connectors are separated within the rigid holder by insulative spacers that may be individual items or may be formed from a compliant carrier that the electrical connectors may reside within where the carrier is positioned within the rigid holder. The rigid holder may also contain a set screw block defining set screw bore or the rigid holder may include an integral portion that defines a set screw bore. The integral portion may include a slot to allow a molding pin loaded with the electrical connectors and other components to be dropped into a cavity of the rigid holder. An overmold may be present to surround the rigid body containing the electrical connectors and insulative spacers.

Claim (Index 15):
A medical lead extension, comprising:\n an elongated body; electrical connectors disposed in proximity to a proximal end of the elongated body; a plurality of conductors within the elongated body and electrically connected to corresponding electrical connectors; a distal connector assembly coupled to the elongated body, the distal connector assembly comprising:\n a rigid holder; \n a plurality of insulative spacers and electrical connectors disposed within the rigid holder with the electrical connectors being separated by the insulative spacers, wherein the plurality of insulative spacers are separate unitary bodies individually positioned within the rigid holder and wherein the conductors are electrically connected to corresponding electrical connectors within the rigid holder and wherein the rigid holder partially surrounds the electrical connectors leaving a portion of the electrical connectors exposed; and an overmold surrounding the rigid holder and the plurality of spacers and electrical connectors.
