Abstract
An improved body implantable electrical stimulator assembly of the type having interconnected electrical components housed within a preformed enclosure. A cup is provided in which the components are finally assembled, the cup being configured to fit within the enclosure. Preferably, the enclosure is formed of a plurality of members at least one of which has a main wall and a side wall joined at a radius. The cup is similarly formed of a main wall and a side wall, the main wall being generally coextensive with at least a major portion of the enclosure member main wall. The cup engages the enclosure in a manner such that its movement within the enclosure is limited. Movement of the components within the cup is restrained.
