An implantable medical device connector assembly and method of manufacture include a molded, insulative shell having a first inner surface forming a connector bore, an outer surface defining a fill port for receiving an adhesive, and a second inner surface defining a channel extending from the fill port to the first inner surface forming the connector bore; one or more conductive members positioned along the connector bore; and sealing members positioned between the conductive members. An adhesive is disposed in the channel and seals the outer surface of the sealing member to the inner surface forming the connector bore.

Connector assembly with internal seals and manufacturing method

A method of manufacturing a medical electrical device is presented. An inner diameter and an outer diameter of a connector ring is machined to form a first and a second flange extending from the inner diameter. An electric discharge machining wire burner is used to form a conductor channel in the inner diameter of the connector ring. A conductor is positioned within the conductor channel. A first distal end of the first flange is coupled to a second distal end of the second flange.

Method for manufacturing a medical electrical lead connector ring

A connector terminal of a medical electrical lead or adapter includes a strut member supporting at least one electrical contact element and at least one seal zone element, which is positioned adjacent to the contact element.
