A feedthrough for an implantable medical electronic device that has a housing and a header. The feedthrough having an insulator that has a housing-side surface and a header-side surface opposite it, a feedthrough flange surrounding the insulator, and at least one primary connection element penetrating the insulator and for connection of an electrical or electronic component of the device. This electrical or electronic component is arranged in the housing. The connection element is fastened by a hard solder connection, so that it is fluid-tight in a passage of the insulator. The primary connection element has a housing-side end that is essentially even with the housing-side surface of the insulator or is recessed into the insulator with respect to this surface.

Feedthrough of an implantable medical electronic device

A method for producing a pin for a feedthrough for an electromedical implant. A pin is produced using the following method steps: creating a foil-, sheet- or strip-shaped semi-finished product by joining at least one first layer element including an electrically conducting, preferably biocompatible, material in foil, sheet or strip form and at least one second layer element including a solder and/or an easily soft-solderable material, preferably in wire, sheet or strip form, or by applying the at least one second layer element onto the at least one first layer element; and at least partially detaching a pin, or a set of multiple pins connected to a connecting web, from the semi-finished product. A method is also provided for producing a feedthrough and an electromedical implant and to a pin, a feedthrough or an implant produced in the corresponding manner.

Method for producing a pin for a feedthrough of an electromedical implant and a feedthrough

A connecting device for an electromedical implant having a housing, the connecting device including a feedthrough and a header. The feedthrough and the header are formed in one piece so as to reduce the cost of the production process.
