Abstract
A connector assembly for use in a cardiac pacer system comprising a cardiac pacer including a pacer case having a top wall and a pacing lead having a distal end, a distal end portion, a proximal end and a proximal end portion with at least one connector band mounted on said proximal end portion. A neck assembly is mounted to the top wall of the pacer case. The connector assembly comprises an elastomeric neck mounted on the top wall of the pacer case and forms part of the neck assembly. The neck has a lumen therein for receiving the proximal end portion of the pacing lead. A resilient conductive member is mounted in the neck and is positioned to contact the connector band on the proximal end portion of the lead received in the lumen. The neck assembly further includes a removable wedge for urging the resilient conductive member against the connector band.
