Abstract
An implantable active medical device includes a hermetic housing defining an exterior surface and a hermetic cavity of an implantable active medical device. The hermetic housing has a first major surface, an opposing second major surface and a side surface extending between them. An elongate lead connector is recessed into the first major surface. The elongate lead connector has a top surface and a bottom surface and a side surface extending between them. The top surface forms only a portion of the first major surface.

An implantable active medical device comprising:
- a hermetic housing defining an exterior surface and a hermetic cavity of an implantable active medical device, the hermetic housing having a first major surface, an opposing second major surface and a side surface extending between the first major surface and the second major surface;
- an elongate lead connector recessed into the first major surface, and the elongate lead connector extends parallel to the first major surface and the second major surface, the elongate lead connector having a top surface and a bottom surface and a side surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface;
- the top surface forming only a portion of the first major surface, and the top surface being co-planar with the first major surface.
An implantable active medical device comprising:
- a hermetic housing defining an exterior surface and a hermetic cavity of an implantable active medical device, the hermetic housing having a first major surface, an opposing second major surface and a side surface extending between the first major surface and the second major surface;
- an elongate lead connector embedded into the first major surface, and the elongate lead connector extends parallel to the first major surface and the second major surface, the elongate lead connector having a top surface and a bottom surface and opposing longitudinal side surfaces extending between the top surface and the bottom surface, the top surface being co-planar with the first major surface, and a closed end rear surface extending between the top surface and the bottom surface and the opposing longitudinal side surfaces, and an open end front surface opposing the rear surface and defining a lead aperture and extending between the top surface and the bottom surface and the opposing longitudinal side surfaces;
- wherein the hermetic cavity surrounds the opposing longitudinal side surfaces and the closed end rear surface.
