Connector enclosure assemblies of medical devices including an angled lead passageway

The implantable medical device of claim 2 including electrical circuitry disposed within the housing, the electrical circuitry including an electrical ground connection in electrical communication with the electrical ground.

The implantable medical device of claim 3 wherein the proximal end includes a plurality of electrical contacts electrically coupled to a plurality of electrodes.

An implantable medical device to receive an implantable medical lead, the implantable medical lead having a lead body with a distal end having an electrode and proximal end having an electrical contact of an electrical conductor in electrical connection with the electrode, the lead body having an electromagnetic shield in electrical connection with a connector at the proximal end, the implantable medical device comprising:

• a housing having an electrical ground, a lead passageway to receive the proximal end, and a set screw passageway intersecting the lead passageway;
• and
• a set screw disposed at least partially within the set screw passageway, the set screw to be tightened against the connector at the proximal end and hold the implantable medical lead in position within the lead passageway to maintain an electrical connection between the electrical ground and the connector to electrically ground the electromagnetic shield.
