Abstract
An implantable medical device comprises an enclosure, a first plurality of electrical contacts disposed within the enclosure, at least a first electrical component secured within the enclosure, a second plurality of electrical contacts on the first electrical component, and a terminal array for providing electrical coupling between the first and second plurality of electrical contacts. The terminal array comprises a housing having a plurality of apertures therethrough, the housing having a first side and a second opposite side. Each of a plurality of conductive terminals is positioned within one of the plurality of apertures and has a first contact region proximate the first side of the housing and a second contact region proximate the second side of the housing. The first contact region is electrically coupled to one of the first plurality of electrical contacts, and the second contact region is electrically coupled to one of the second plurality of contacts.
