Method and apparatus are provided for fabricating a planar transformer assembly for use in an implantable medical device. The planar transformer assembly includes a board, a first core, and a second core. The board has a first side, a second side, and an embedded winding, wherein the embedded winding includes a primary winding and a secondary winding and is at least partially embedded in the board between the first and second sides.

Integrated planar flyback transformer

An implantable medical device comprises an enclosure, a first plurality of electrical contacts disposed within the enclosure, at least a first electrical component secured within the enclosure, a second plurality of electrical contacts on the first electrical component, and a terminal array for providing electrical coupling between the first and second plurality of electrical contacts. The terminal array comprises a housing having a plurality of apertures therethrough, the housing having a first side and a second opposite side. Each of a plurality of conductive terminals is positioned within one of the plurality of apertures and has a first contact region proximate the first side of the housing and a second contact region proximate the second side of the housing. The first contact region is electrically coupled to one of the first plurality of electrical contacts, and the second contact region is electrically coupled to one of the second plurality of contacts.
