Abstract: An implantable pulse generator includes a header, a can, a grouped array feedthru, and an inline array feedthru board. The feedthru includes a header side, a can side and a grouped array of feedthru wires extending through the feedthru. A first end of each feedthru wire is electrically coupled to a lead connector block. The inline array feedthru board includes a grouped array of first electrical contact holes and an inline array of conductor wires. The grouped array of first electrical contact holes receives therein second ends of the feedthru wires. The inline array of conductor wires projects from a side of the board opposite the feedthru. Each first electrical contact hole is in electrical communication with a respective conductor wire. Each conductor wire is in electrical contact with at least a portion of an electrical connection region of an electronic substrate housed within the can.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an implantable pulse generator feedthru configured to make generally planar electrical contact with an electrical component housed within a can of an implantable pulse generator. The feedthru may include a feedthru housing including a header side and a can side, a core within the feedthru housing, a generally planar electrically conductive interface adjacent the can side, and a feedthru wire extending through the core. The feedthru wire may include an interface end and a header end, wherein the header end extends from the header side and the interface end is at least one of generally flush with the generally planar interface and generally recessed relative to the generally planar interface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are electronic devices, such as, for example, televisions, stereo systems, diagnostic equipment, cell phones, desktop or laptop PCs, medical pulse generators, or etc., including an integrated circuit including a printed circuit board including multiple layers and a wire bond pad. The multiple layers are sandwiched together in a planar unitary structure including a top surface, a bottom surface and a structure edge extending between the top surface and the bottom surface. The multiple layers include a first organic substrate layer joined to a second organic substrate layer. Each organic substrate layer includes a layer edge and a peripheral surface adjacent the layer edge. Each layer edge forms part of the structure edge. The wire bond pad includes an outer face, an inner face generally opposite the outer face, and a first rib. The inner face extends along the structure edge.

Abstract: A feedthrough filter capacitor assembly for an implantable medical device is provided. The assembly includes a conductive lead, a conductive tube coaxial with and insulated from at least a portion of the lead, a conductive substrate through which the lead and tube pass in non-conductive relation therewith, and a filter capacitor associated with each of the lead and tube. The coaxial design of the filter capacitor assembly increases the number of lead connections while minimizing the footprint of the existing feedthrough layout.

Abstract: A feedthrough device includes a conductive ferrule having an outer peripheral surface defining the outermost boundary of the feedthrough device, an insulator, a lead wire electrically isolated from the ferrule extending through the insulator, a filter capacitor adjacent the insulator through which the lead wire extends in conductive relation therewith, and a ground wire coupled to the ferrule and to the insulator within the outermost boundary of the feedthrough device. The ferrule has an inner peripheral surface defining an opening therethrough and each of the insulator and the filter capacitor has an outer peripheral surface proximate the inner peripheral surface, a counterbore in the outer peripheral surface of each of the insulator and filter capacitor, an end of the ground wire being received in the counterbore and brazed to the ferrule and insulator. Alternatively, an end of the ground wire is welded to the inner peripheral surface of the ferrule.
