Abstract
In a process for manufacturing a female connector for a pacemaker, a tubular ceramic insert is formed with a longitudinal bore and with two radial holes connecting internal contact surfaces with external contact surfaces. The radial holes are filled with conductive material and the internal and external contact surfaces are metallized. The ceramic insert is covered with a layer of metal except for an area around each of the external contact surfaces.
