Abstract
A dismountable connector head for an active implantable medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, and/or cardioverter. The device includes a case (12) comprising on one of its faces a series of emerging insulating traverse (16) structures bearing conducting feed-through leads (14), connected to the internal circuits of the case, and a connector head (10) made of an insulating rigid material, able to receive the terminals of electrical contact. A mechanical connection component (24) is used to solidarize the case with the connector head. The connection component is a removable component able to allow the separation (dismounting) of the connector head from the case after solidarisation of the two parts. The connection component can in particular be an elastically deformable clamp (24), cooperating by two opposed ends with a peripheral groove in the insulating traverses (16) bearing the conducting feed-through leads (14), or a pin similarly engaging a groove in the insulating traverse.
