Abstract
A circuit board for an active implantable medical device (AIMD) has a circuit board land connected to at least one electrical circuit. A hermetic feedthrough terminal pin connector for the AIMD includes an electrical insulator hermetically sealed to an opening of an electrically conductive ferrule. A terminal pin of the feedthrough extends outwardly beyond the insulator. A terminal pin connector has an electrically conductive connector housing that is connected to the circuit board land by an electrical connection material. At least one electrically conductive prong supported by the connector housing contacts and compresses against the feedthrough terminal pin to thereby make a removable electrical connection between the circuit board and the terminal pin. An insulative material loaded with electrically insulative nanoparticles coats at least a portion of the sidewall of the connector housing and the electrical connection material connecting the connector housing to the circuit board land.
