1. A process for manufacturing a female connector for a pacemaker, comprising the steps of:
- forming a tubular ceramic insert with a longitudinal bore therein, and having internal contact surfaces and external contact surfaces, and with two radial holes connecting said internal contact surfaces with said external contact surfaces;
filling said radial holes with conductive material;
metallizing said internal contact surfaces and said external contact surfaces; and
covering said ceramic insert with a layer of metal except for an area around each of said external contact surfaces.

Abstract
In a process for manufacturing a female connector for a pacemaker, a tubular ceramic insert is formed with a longitudinal bore and with two radial holes connecting internal contact surfaces with external contact surfaces. The radial holes are filled with conductive material and the internal and external contact surfaces are metallized. The ceramic insert is covered with a layer of metal except for an area around each of the external contact surfaces.
