ABSTRACT:
An implantable electrical device, including a sealed case and a connector assembly, and a method for making the same are disclosed. The sealed case has electrical circuitry therein and has at least one insulated electrical-feed-through coupled to the circuitry. The feed-through member extends from the interior of the case to the exterior of the case and includes an external electrical terminal. The connector assembly has an apertured housing adapted to receive the proximal end portion of an electrical lead in sealing engagement with the housing. The connector assembly also has at least one electrical contact therein adapted to be engaged by a terminal of the electrical lead, and at least one insulated feed-through member coupled to the contact and extending from the interior of the assembly to the exterior of the assembly, the feed-through member including an external electrical terminal. The feed-through members of the sealed case and the connector assembly interconnect the connector assembly and the case together in such a manner that the external terminal of the feed-through member on the assembly electrically contacts the external terminal of the feed-through member on the case. The sealed case and the connector assembly are separately fabricated and, as a final step in the manufacture of the device, they are adhesively bonded together, with the external terminal of each in electrical contact with the external terminal of the other.
