Abstract
An implant including a hermetically tightly sealed housing, wherein a control unit is arranged in the housing, and including a header, which is secured to the housing and includes at least one socket for connection to a plug of an electrode lead, and includes a communication antenna, which is electrically connected to the control unit. To achieve a reliable identification of the electrode lead with a low energy expenditure, the header has, in the region of the at least one socket, at least one electromagnetic transmission element electrically connected to a contact element which is provided on the inner wall of the at least one socket or to the ground of the implant and to the control unit, wherein the electromagnetic transmission element is electromagnetically or inductively coupled to the communication antenna. A corresponding electrode lead and a corresponding method for identifying an electrode lead are also contemplated.
