ABSTRACT:
A ribbon conductor set and related method of production and installation are provided for electrically interconnecting components in an implantable medical device, such as a heart pacemaker unit or the like. The ribbon conductor set is formed by die cutting and/or stamping a thin plate of conductive material to define a plurality of conductor ribbons supported from a frame. The ribbon set and supporting frame are shaped for seated placement into a fixture to orient the conductor ribbons in predetermined array to extend between electrical components on the fixture, such as between connector blocks and feedthrough terminals of a heart pacemaker unit. The fixture thus supports the conductor ribbons for facilitated connection to the electrical components, such as by welding, after which the resultant subassembly may be further processed as by encapsulation within a cast epoxy head or the like.
