One aspect relates generally to a process for electrically contacting a coated lead. One aspect relates to a process for electrically contacting a coated lead including providing a coated lead comprising an electrically conductive core and an electrically insulating coating. A via hole is provided in the electrically insulating coating in order to expose a section of the electrically conductive core. A first electrically conductive material is applied to the coated lead such that it contacts at least a part of the exposed section of the electrically conductive core via the via hole. Further electrically conductive material is applied to the coated lead such that it contacts at least a part of the first conductive material.
