Abstract
A feedthrough connector for use on an implantable electronic cardiac pacer. A single structure provides a means for connecting a heart lead to the pacer and feedthrough into the body of the pacer. The feedthrough may include filtering means to protect against external interferences. The entire structure has provisions for physical compliance to absorb stresses due to different heat coefficients and as may be caused during assembly and use. Also disclosed is a method for making the feedthrough connector.
