Abstract
Thin film connectors are described for connecting a lead assembly and a data acquisition system. Particularly, a connector includes a button having a housing and conductive pins extending from a proximal end of the housing through a base plate into a cavity on a distal end of the housing. The connector further includes a thin-film adapter having: (i) a supporting structure, (ii) bond pads formed on the supporting structure, (iii) a cable having conductive traces electrically connected to the bond pads, and (iv) feedthroughs that pass through the supporting structure and are electrically connected with the bond pads. Each conductive pin extends through a feedthrough, and each conductive pin is in electrical connection with one or more conductive traces via each bond pad.
