摘要： A method and apparatus for attaching a pre-formed header module, e.g. a connector header module or an electrode bearing header module, etc., to a hermetically sealed enclosure of the implantable medical device, typically including electronic integrated circuits, batteries, electromechanical pumps, or the like, are disclosed. A plurality of upstanding tabs that are fixed to the hermetically sealed enclosure, e.g. to the enclosure attachment surface, extend into a like plurality of tab channels formed in the header module housing. The upstanding tab(s) are inserted into the respective tab channel(s) during seating of the module and enclosure attachment surfaces and effects an initial alignment of the header module with the hermetically sealed enclosure. Each attachment tab has a retention feature formed on or in the tab that is designed to accommodate the flow of the thermoplastic material during the application of ultrasonic energy in the region of the tab channel and to cooperate with the solidified mass of thermoplastic material. During application of the ultrasonic energy, the thermoplastic material melts and flows into the remaining space of the tab channel and encapsulate the attachment tab including the retention feature. Upon termination of the ultrasonic energy, the thermoplastic housing material cools and solidifies and forms a continuous mass that encapsulates the surface of the attachment tab and the retention feature.

摘要： An implantable medical device including a hermetic housing containing an electronic circuit, such as a cardiac pacemaker. The electronic circuit may be coupled to a medical lead by means of a connector module which is formed as part of a molded, resilient shroud, extending around the circumference of the hermetic container.
