Abstract
An implantable pulse generator particularly adapted for implantation in the abdomen. The pulse generator displays a generally flattened configuration having two generally opposed major surfaces and a smaller, circumferential edge surface, and includes a plurality of electrical connectors located in a connector module mounted to one of the major surfaces of the pulse generator. The housing of the pulse generator contains a hybrid circuit mounted generally parallel to the major surfaces of the pulse generator, connected to the electrical connectors by means of feedthroughs passing through one of the major surfaces of the pulse generator, located adjacent to the edges of the hybrid circuit and perpendicular thereto.
