ABSTRACT:
A medical electronic device having an electronic circuit allows for additional functional modules having electrical components to electrically couple to the medical electronic circuit. The modular system includes a housing enclosing the medical electronic circuit and a module enclosing the electrical components containing the additional functionality. A socket for releasably receiving the module is formed in a top side of the housing and is defined by a bottom wall and a side wall of the housing. The side wall has a rib projecting therefrom and extending from the bottom wall toward the top of the housing. The bottom wall has first and second holes formed therein proximate to the first rib. The module includes front and rear sides each having a channel formed therein for receiving the rib. A pair of guide pins extend below the bottom of the case, on opposing sides of an electrical connector. When the module is inserted into the socket, the channels receive the rib, the pair of pins are received by the pair of holes and the electrical connector on the case electrically couples with an electrical connector extending upward from the bottom wall of the socket.
