Abstract: A sectional interconnect ribbon for use in a connector assembly for an implantable medical device is formed of two ore more separately-formed sections which are mechanically joined together to form an integral assembly. The sectional interconnect ribbon, as well as at least one connection element, is embedded within the connector assembly.

Abstract: In general, the invention is directed to an implantable medical device assembly having a more space-efficient housing and components, as well as processes for assembling the implantable medical device with reduced assembly cost and less complexity. The implantable medical device may incorporate a battery, capacitor, circuit assembly, feedthrough assembly, and interconnect assembly with respective electrical terminals. This configuration permits the use of automated electronic module assembly techniques such as parallel gap or ribbon bond welding to electrically connect the terminals. A feedthrough assembly may present a set of terminals adjacent a corresponding set of circuit terminals, also enabling the use of automated welding techniques.
