Abstract: An electronic device includes an electronic module and an electronic module fixing structure that includes a main body, a position-limiting component slideably disposed on the main body along a first direction, at least one positioning component slideably disposed on the main body along a second direction, and at least one first elastic component. The position-limiting component has a position-limiting portion. The first elastic component is connected between the main body and the positioning component. The position-limiting component resists an elastic force of the first elastic component to limit the positioning component to be at a first position. When the electronic module moves into the main body, the electronic module pushes the position-limiting component to drive the position-limiting portion to move away from the positioning component, and the positioning component moves to a second position by the elastic force of the first elastic component to position the electronic module.

Abstract: A clip for a sheet electrode, which is capable of easily and reliably pinching a sheet electrode, and capable of minimizing the number of parts, thus facilitating the assembling. This clip is constructed such that a movable plate (20) provided with slots (25) to be engaged with supporting axes (13) is engaged with a substrate (10) having the supporting axes (13), and a conductive leaf spring (30) which is bent in the near middle thereof is interposed between the substrate and movable plate so as to keep them in an opened state. After the insertion of a sheet electrode (50), the movable plate is pivoted against the force of the leaf spring so as to close and pinch the sheet electrode. When the movable plate is further shifted forward along the slots, the movable plate is fixingly engaged with the substrate, thereby maintaining the pinching of the sheet electrode.

Abstract: A connector assembly mounted on an implantable cardiac stimulation device has an actuator mechanism for fixing and sealing electrical leads inserted into lead receptacles within the connector assembly without the use of setscrews. Fixing and sealing of the leads is accomplished by compressing resilient lead lock seals of O-ring shape, disposed in annular recesses, with lip portions of a plunger drawn toward the molded support by the actuator mechanism. In a first embodiment of the actuator mechanism, rotation of a cam actuator transversely journaled within the support, using a torque wrench or similar tool, moves a cam slide attached to the plunger through a fixed displacement between lock and unlock positions as an offset camming portion of the actuator engages the surfaces of a slot within the cam slide.

Abstract: A device for affixing an electrode cable to an apparatus for emitting electrical pulses, such as a pacemaker or a defibrillator, cooperates with a connector part of the apparatus to which the affixing device for the proximal end of the electrode cable is attached. The electrode cable has a proximal end being provided with a center channel. In order to reduce the size of the connector part of the apparatus while still achieving good fixing of the electrode cable, affixing device includes an elongate body onto which the proximal end of the electrode cable can be mounted and an expander element for radially expanding at least a part of the elongate body, so the body can, when the cable end has been mounted, be affixed by pressure to the surrounding channel wall.

Abstract: A feedthrough coaxial cable connector includes a tubular mandrel body dimensioned to be pressed between a foil-bonded dielectric core and other elements of an outer conductor of the prepared end of the cable. The body has cable engagement surface which defines a knife edge projection therearound for engaging an outer conductor of the cable by creating shear stresses therein without actually shearing the outer conductor. A tubular shank portion extends from the cable engagement surface portion to a radial wall portion, and a jack engagement portion is coaxial about the exposed central conductor. The jack engagement portion achieves a tight friction fit upon a jack and may be formed as an inside compression collet. A radial compression providing structure causes an inside surface region of the outer conductor to bear directly against and bend over the knife edge portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector for removably attaching a flat electrode to a conducting cable is shown. Flat, conductive upper and lower jaws are connected at the rear by flexible, resilient spring means, and are spaced apart at the front. The jaws are mounted within a housing, and are surmounted by a slide actuator having a finger movable member passing through a slot in a housing roof. The actuator slides on a guide means having a front planar surface and a rear planar surface higher than the front planar surface, the two planar surfaces connected by a ramp in a transition area. In the forward position, the actuator compresses the jaws together on the surfaces of the flat electrode to tightly hold the electrode in a locked conductive connection, and simple finger movement of the actuator releases the electrode.
