MEDICALLY IMPLANTABLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH CONSTANT CONDUCTIVITY

摘要

A medically implantable electrical connector (10) includes a housing having (14) a bore with an internal V-groove (15, 38) therein along with radial garter spring (16) disposed in the V-groove (15,38). A pin (12) is provided and sized for insertion in the housing bore. The housing (14), spring (16) and pin (12) are formed from a combination of medically implantable materials in order to control electrical resistivity between the housing (14), the spring (16)and the pin (12).
