Abstract
In a medical implantable device having a hermetically sealed, radio shielded encapsulations containing an RF circuit therein and having an antenna located outside of the encapsulation, and in a method for connecting the RF circuit to the antenna, at least one hermetical feedthrough connection is provided in the form of at least one conductor passing through a wall portion of the encapsulation in a liquid-tight and gas-tight manner, with the feedthrough being electrically insulated from the encapsulation. At least one connector pin is provided on an RF circuit board, which is resiliently mounted on the RF circuit board. The RF circuit is mounted in the encapsulation so as to cause the connector pin to resiliently engage the conductor and to electrically connect the conductor with the RF circuit board.
