Abstract

A method for producing a head part of an implantable medical device is described, with a head part housing, which has a recess in the form of a blind hole, along which at least one electrically conducting contact ring element, together with an electrically insulating, elastically deformable sealing ring, are joined together in a force fit in a coaxial arrangement and an axial serial sequence under an axial joining force. The method is characterized in that the generation of the joining force between the at least one contact ring element and the sealing ring is executed along the assembly tool by use of means of attachment fitted on both sides of the at least one contact ring element and the sealing ring along the assembly tool, of which at least one means of attachment is axially movably and detachably fixed in an axially secure manner to the assembly tool.
