Abstract

See full text

The present invention generally relates to implantable medical devices and more particularly to various means for ultrasonically welding, swaging or staking various components in an implantable medical device, most preferably by employing appropriately configured covers or lids. Covers or lids are attached to header or connector modules mounted on an hermetically enclosed and sealed enclosure, where the connector or header module and enclosure comprise an implantable medical device. The covers or lids preferably trap or otherwise secure any of a number of various connector or header module components within the header or connector modules. Examples of such trapped or secured components include grommets, set screw connector blocks, seals, feedthrough wires, multi-beam contacts, electrical contacts, antennas, radio-opaque markers, connector ribbons and the like.
