Methods of manufacturing an implantable pulse generator
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing an implantable pulse generator, the method comprising:
- providing a header and a can;
extending a feedthru between the header and the can, the feedthru having a header side, a can side, and a feedthru wire, the can side having a first generally planar electrically conductive interface, the feedthru wire having a header end and a can end, and the feedthru wire extending through the feedthru from the first interface to project from the header side into the header;
disposing an electrical component inside the can, the electrical component having a side abutted and attached to the can side such that the side of the electrical component covers the can end of the feedthru wire, and the side of the electrical component having a second generally planar electrically conductive interface; and
placing the interfaces in physical contact with each other.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is an implantable pulse generator feedthru configured to make generally planar electrical contact with an electrical component housed within a can of an implantable pulse generator. The feedthru may include a feedthru housing including a header side and a can side, a core within the feedthru housing, a generally planar electrically conductive interface adjacent the can side, and a feedthru wire extending through the core. The feedthru wire may include an interface end and a header end, wherein the header end extends from the header side and the interface end is at least one of generally flush with the generally planar interface and generally recessed relative to the generally planar interface.
