Abstract: Implantable medical devices that include a battery to power circuitry utilize a battery connector to electrically interconnect the battery to the circuitry. The battery connector may be mounted directly to a device housing to have the battery connector a fixed position within the device. Battery terminals of the battery are electrically connected to terminals on the battery connector, and the terminals on the battery connector are electrically connected to power terminals of the circuitry. The battery connector may include various features such as mounting grooves formed in a connector body, tapered pins to connect to power terminals on a circuit board, as well as plates to engage the battery terminals. The device housing may provide mounting features that allow the battery connector to be affixed directly to the device housing.

Abstract: Implantable medical devices include circuitry positioned adjacent to header-related structures, rather than having the header and related structures sitting atop the position of the circuitry within a device housing. A circuit board within the device housing may be positioned adjacently to a lead bore of the header. Feedthrough conductors may extend from the circuitry to conductors of the header while being positioned adjacently to the circuit board. Lead frame conductors may extend to the electrical connectors of the lead bores while also being adjacent to the upper portion of the circuitry. Device height may be reduced by having the circuitry be positioned adjacent to one or more of the various header-related structures.

Abstract: Seals used within lead bores of implantable medical devices for creating a seal to implantable medical leads inserted into the lead bores include an inner cylinder that engages the lead body. The inner cylinder is surrounded by a gap to either an outer cylinder of the seal or to surrounding structures of the implantable medical device. The inner cylinder has freedom of movement within the gap such that movement of the lead body that is off-axis relative to a centerline of the lead bore causes movement of the inner cylinder that is providing the seal. In this manner, the seal engagement to the lead body is maintained during this off-axis movement of the lead body.
