ABSTRACT:
A connector block assembly for an implantable medical device is described. The connector block generally includes a first and second housing connected to one another forming an indentation that holds a tab. A canted spring or any other electrically conductive displacable configuration is further held within the indentation. The connector block assembly is adapted to be placed within a header, or connector top assembly for an implantable medical device. The tab can be connected to feedthrough wires from the internal circuitry within the medical device. The connector block assembly can interface with a medical electrode to connect a patient's tissue with the medical device.
