Feedthrough for electrical connectors

An electrically conducting feedthrough comprising:

• a relatively electrically insulating member having a first face and at least a second face;
• and
• at least one electrically conductive member extending through at least a portion of the electrically insulative member from the first face to the second face;
• wherein said at least one conductive member is non-linear between said first face and said second face.

An electrically conducting feedthrough comprising:

• a relatively electrically insulative member having a first face and at least a second face;
• and
• at least one relatively electrically conductive member extending through at least a portion of the electrically insulative member from the first face to the second face;
• wherein said at least one conductive member has a length between said first face and second face that is greater than the shortest distance between said first face and said second face.

An electrically conducting feedthrough comprising:

• a relatively electrically insulative member having a first face and at least a second face;
• and
• at least one relatively electrically conductive member having an outer surface and extending through at least a portion of the electrically insulative member from the first face to the second face;
• wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of said at least one conductive member is non-linear between said first face and said second face.

An electrically conducting feedthrough comprising:

• a relatively electrically insulative member having a first face and at least a second face;
• and
• at least one relatively electrically conductive member having an outer surface and extending through at least a portion of the electrically insulative member from the first face to the second face;
• wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of said at least one conductive member defines an interface path between the conductive element and the insulating material that is greater than the shortest distance between said first face and said second face.

An electrically conducting feedthrough comprising:

• a relatively electrically insulating member having a first face and at least a second face;
• and
• a plurality of electrically conductive members each having a first end and a second end and extending through at least a portion of the insulative member from said first end at or adjacent the first face to said second end at or adjacent the second face of the insulative member;
• wherein the configuration of the first ends of the conductive members relative to each other at or adjacent the first face of the insulative member is different to the configuration of the second ends of the conductive members relative to each other at or adjacent the second face of the insulative member.
