ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for mechanically immobilizing a probe connector in a generator connector of an active implantable medical device, especially for a cardiac pacemaker, defibrillator and/or cardiovertor. The active implantable medical device comprises a generator connector (10) with an axial female cavity (26) receiving a probe connector (24), at least one connection output (12, 14) and apparatus for the mechanical immobilisation the probe connector in the cavity. The connection output exerts a radial support pressure of the output conducting element (16, 18) against a corresponding conducting element (20, 22) of the probe connector to achieve an adequate electrical connection. Separate from the electrical contacts at the connection outputs, and at the outlet of the cavity, a locking wedge (38) is inserted and held in place between an external surface (46) of the probe and an internal surface (48) of the cavity to achieve a mechanical immobilization of the probe in the generator connector.
