1. An electrode for a conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”), the electrode comprising:
a front wall;
a spear coupled to the front wall; and
a filament having an end portion coupled to the front wall distal the spear and proximate a circumferential edge of the front wall, wherein in response to the CEW providing a stimulus signal through the filament and the spear coupling to a target, air in a gap between the end portion of the filament and at least one of the spear and the front wall is ionized to provide the stimulus signal to the target.
