CONNECTOR ENCLOSURE ASSEMBLIES OF MEDICAL DEVICES INCLUDING AN ANGLED LEAD PASSAGEWAY

摘要

Connector enclosure assemblies for medical devices provide an angled lead passageway. The lead passageway which is defined by electrical connectors and intervening seals within the connector enclosure assembly establishes the angle relative to a base plane of the connector enclosure assembly. Various other aspects may be included in conjunction with the angled lead passageway, including an angled housing of the connector enclosure assembly, feedthrough pins that extend to the electrical connectors where the feedthrough pins may include angled sections, and a set screw passageway set at an angle relative to the lead passageway to provide fixation of a lead within the lead passageway.

主权项

1. A medical device connector enclosure assembly comprising:
a housing having an opening and having a base defining a plane, the housing having a surface opposite the base with a mid-point of the surface opposite the base defining a tangent with an angle relative to the plane of the base; an electrical connector disposed within the housing and aligned with the opening to form a lead passageway, the lead passageway having an axial dimension that is at an angle greater than zero degrees and less than 90 degrees relative to the plane.
