An implantable drug infusion device includes a bulkhead having a chamber and a shield for the bulkhead. A transducer is secured to the shield. An electronic module is located in the bulkhead for controlling operation of a pump assembly. A biasing member is in electrical contact with the electronic module and the transducer such that current transmitted from the electronic module to the transducer through the biasing member actuates the transducer.
