Abstract
An electrical connector assembly for facilitating electrical connection between a medical lead and circuitry of an implantable medical device (IMD). The electrical connector assembly integrates a conductive element with an elastomeric seal in order to achieve a simplified structure for electrically coupling of a lead to circuitry of the IMD and also providing a hermetic seal, and facilitates simplified and improved electrical coupling of a medical lead to circuitry of the IMD.
