Zusammenfassung:An implantable medical lead is disclosed herein. The lead may include a longitudinally extending body, an electrical conductor, a tube and an electrical component, such as, for example, an electrode for sensing or pacing, a defibrillation coil, a strain gage, a pressure sensor, a piezoelectric sensor, an integrated chip, an inductor, etc. The body may include a distal end and a proximal end. The electrical conductor may extend through the body between the proximal end and the distal end. The tube may be swaged about an outer circumferential portion of the electrical conductor. The electrical component may be on the body and electrically connected to the tube.
