    Abstract: A connector apparatus for a medical device includes a cylindrical core of nonconductive material, a beam of conductive material, and a sleeve of conductive material. The cylindrical core includes an outside surface, an inside surface, a hollow center having a cross sectional area, and a slot opening in the cylindrical core extending from the outside surface to the inside surface. The beam is placed in the slot opening in the cylindrical core, wherein the beam reduces the cross-sectional area of the hollow center of the cylindrical core. The sleeve of conductive material is placed over the outside surface of the cylindrical core.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to absorb a portion of a positive or negative manufacturing tolerance of at least one component of a stacked bore assembly are disclosed, the stacked bore assembly comprising a first component having a distal mechanical feature and a second component having a proximal mechanical feature configured to engage the distal mechanical feature the first component to a shoulder on a first one of the distal mechanical feature of the first component or the proximal mechanical feature of the second component. The shoulder can be positioned at a distance from an end of the first one of the distal mechanical feature of the first component or the proximal mechanical feature of the second component shorter or longer than a length of a second of the distal mechanical feature of the first component or the proximal mechanical feature of the second component.

    Abstract: An implantable medical device can include a housing including electronic devices within the housing, and a header attached to the housing. The header can have an index locking assembly including one or more connector bores arranged within the header, each of the one or more connector bores including a proximal end and a distal end. The index locking assembly can also include one or more connector pins configured to be inserted into and interference fit within the one or more connector bores. The proximal end of the one or more connector bores and a portion of the one or more connector pins can include a tapered portion configured to prevent rotation of the one or more connector pins when inserted into the one or more connector bores.

    Abstract: Systems and methods to couple electrical contacts of a header of a medical device to respective feedthrough pins of a connector block of a medical device housing using a preformed wire are disclosed. The preformed wire can include a proximate portion comprising a number of turns shaped to engage a feedthrough pin. The number of turns of the preformed wire, once engaged with the feedthrough pin, can physically separate a major portion of the preformed wire from the connector block and the housing. The major portion of the preformed wire can be shaped to route a distal portion of the preformed wire to a first electrical contact of the header when the proximate portion of the preformed wire engages the feedthrough pin.
