A connector arrangement () for establishing a two-pole electric contact between components of an implantable medical device () includes: a first connector portion () including a first contact element () and a pin receptacle (); and a second connector portion () including a second contact element () and a contact pin (). The connector arrangement () is configured to assume a connected state wherein the first contact element () is in contact with the second contact element () and the contact pin () is received in the pin receptacle (). At least a part of the first connector portion () and/or at least a part of the second connector portion () is mounted on a printed circuit board ().

Two-pole electric contact connector for implantable medical device components

An implantable medical device has a device housing. The device housing has a first device housing shell and a second device housing shell. The device housing surrounds an interior space. The implantable medical device further has an electrical component arranged in the interior, as well as a mounting frame, which is arranged in the interior and surrounds the electrical component. The mounting frame has at least one clamping structure. The at least one clamping structure is configured to exert a force onto the electrical component in order to fix the electrical component in the interior of the device housing.

An electrical resistor has a resistance conductor, which is applied to a carrier layer, and two connection elements, which are electrically conductively connected to the resistance conductor. The two connection elements are configured to each be welded or soldered to an electrical contact in order to electrically contact the resistor. The resistance conductor for each connection element has a region that overlaps the corresponding connection element. The overlap region is in electrical contact with the corresponding connection element.

Electrical resistor, in particular for medical implants

A battery bridge for an electronic device, preferably for an electronic implant, has an electrically conductive first contact element, an electrically conductive second contact element and an insulator. The first contact element and the second contact element comprise a weldable material. In a first state of the battery bridge, the first contact element is distanced from the second contact element via a predefined air gap and the first contact element is electrically insulated from the second contact element by the air gap and the insulator. The battery bridge is formed in such a way that it can be transferred, by welding the first contact element and the second contact element together, into a second state, in which the air gap between the first contact element and the second contact element is closed electrically conductively, at least in part. A method for activating such an electronic device is also disclosed.

A connection element for an electronic component assembly includes a support, a first contact pad, and a second contact pad. The first contact pad and the second contact pad are electrically connected. A first contact conductor has a first conductor surface electrically connected to the first contact pad at a first section, and is configured to form a welded connection in a second section of the first conductor surface, and/or on the second conductor surface. The invention also relates to an electronic component assembly which includes such a connection element, and which has at least one component welded to the contact conductor.
