Abstract
A connector assembly for an implantable medical device such as a heart stimulator having a hermetically sealed enclosure containing electrical circuits and a power source, is affixed to the enclosure of the stimulator or is incorporated therein for producing an electrical connection between a proximal end of an electrical cable and the circuits in the enclosure. The connector assembly has a first connector in the form of a female connector part with the electrical contacts embedded in a puncturable membrane disposed inside of the connector assembly. The first connector is placed in electrical contact with a second connector which is arranged on a male connector part on the proximal end of the electrode cable. The second connector is equipped with two or more contact needles pointing in the same direction, with respective tips which are insertable into the membrane so that as the tips puncture the membrane, they come into contact with respective electrical contacts of the first connector embedded in the membrane.
