Abstract
An implantable control module for an electrical stimulation system includes a connector to couple to a lead or lead extension; an electronics housing coupled to the connector and having a first major surface, a second major surface, and at least one side surface; and an electronic subassembly disposed within the electronics housing. The electronics housing includes a first portion formed of a first conductive material and a second portion formed of a second conductive material. The second portion forms at least part of the first major surface and extends to form an adjacent region of the side surface or the second major surface. In some embodiments, the first conductive material has a resistivity that is no more than 50% of a resistivity of the second conductive material. In some embodiments, the first conductive material is titanium and the second conductive material is a titanium alloy.
