ABSTRACT:
A flat ribbon cable for interconnecting electrical components mounted in mating clamshell enclosure halves of an implantable cardiac stimulation device. The ribbon cable is configured to butterfly open when the enclosure is opened and interconnect components in each half without undergoing undue mechanical stress as the halves are distanced. The ribbon cable is also configured to fold together when the enclosure halves are mated together, without bending, in a very compact manner so as to occupy minimal room in the enclosure when the device is ready for implantation thus preserving more room for batteries, capacitors, and other electrical devices providing the sensing and stimulation functions of the device and/or allowing the overall space envelope of the stimulation device to be reduced.
