Abstract
A metallic pulse generator housing has a tubular connector which receives a proximal lead end plug, the connector being located inside the housing and having a closed end within the housing and an open end welded or bonded to an opening in a wall of the housing. The connector is formed by a metallic barrel which is weldable or bondable to the metallic housing, the barrel being a structurally unitary tube member with a cavity containing electrical contacts for contacting contact surfaces on the lead end plug. At least one insulating substrate, on which the contacts are carried, is arranged in or on a region of a barrel wall which defines the cavity.
