Dismountable connector head for an active implantable medical device such as a pacemaker, a defibrillator and/or cardiovertor
First Claim
1. An active implantable medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator and/or cardiovertor, comprising:
- a case comprising a face having at least one emerging conducting feed-through lead, and at least one insulating traverse extending out of said face bearing said feed-through conductor leads;
a connector head made of a rigid insulating material, able to receive the insulating traverse and the electrical contact terminals and having an aperture; and
a mechanical connection component able to fit in said connector head aperture and engage said at least one insulating traverse to solidarize the case with the connector head, said connection component being a removable component able to allow the separation of the connector head from the case.

Abstract
A dismountable connector head for an active implantable medical device such as a pacemaker, defibrillator, and/or cardioverter. The device includes a case (12) comprising on one of its faces a series of emerging insulating traverse (16) structures bearing conducting feed-through leads (14), connected to the internal circuits of the case, and a connector head (10) made of an insulating rigid material, able to receive the terminals of electrical contact. A mechanical connection component (24) is used to solidarize the case with the connector head. The connection component is a removable component able to allow the separation (dismounting) of the connector head from the case after solidarisation of the two parts. The connection component can in particular be an elastically deformable clamp (24), cooperating by two opposed ends with a peripheral groove in the insulating traverses (16) bearing the conducting feed-through leads (14), or a pin similarly engaging a groove in the insulating traverse.
