A 4.3/10 coaxial connector configured to receive a mating 4.3/10 connector includes: an inner contact; a dielectric spacer; and an outer contact, the dielectric spacer separating the inner contact and the outer contact. The outer contact includes an outer wall and a plurality of spring fingers, the spring fingers configured to deflect radially inwardly when the mating 4.3/10 connector is mated. The connector further comprises blocking structure that prevents mating of a Mini-Din connector.

The invention relates to a plug connection for transmitting electrical energy by releasable contact, said plug connection comprising at least one plug contact pin and at least one contact socket, the at least one contact socket being received in a plug connector housing and the plug connector housing interacting with a slider which is movable relative thereto, so that the plug connection partners are housed in an inserted and secondarily locked contacting position. At least one detent and support geometry is integrated into the plug contact pin and interacts with the plug connector housing, so that the contacting partners are disconnected from one another when the positions thereof relative to one another are outside the secondary locking position.

An electrical contact for mating with a mating contact includes an aluminum body extending along a longitudinal axis and formed of an aluminum or an aluminum alloy, a contact zone disposed on a surface of the aluminum body and adapted to be electrically connected to a mating contact, and a contact spring connected to the aluminum body and having a contact region contacting the mating contact. The aluminum body has a connecting portion adapted to be connected to an aluminum conductor. The contact zone is formed from a material that is more creep-resistant than the aluminum body. The contact spring at least partially rests on the contact zone and is formed from a material that is harder than the aluminum body.

An electrical connector assembly for electrically and mechanically connecting a component to a power source is disclosed. The connector assembly includes a male terminal with side walls defining a receiver. The side wall includes a contact arm that extends across an aperture in the side wall. The assembly also includes an internal spring member dimensioned to reside within the receiver of the male terminal. The spring member has at least one spring arm that extends from a base portion. The assembly further includes a female terminal with a receptacle dimensioned to receive both the male terminal and the spring member residing within the receiver of the male connector to define a connected position. In the connected position, the spring arm exerts an outwardly directed biasing force on the contact arm of the male terminal to outwardly displace it into engagement with an inner surface of the receptacle to ensure connectivity.

Implantable medical devices have modular lead bores that are constructed from individual lead bore modules. A given modular lead bore utilizes the number of individual lead bore modules necessary for the particular implantable medical device. Each lead bore module has a lead bore passageway and a feedthrough passageway. An electrical contact is present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module and the electrical contact is aligned to the lead bore passageway of a lead bore module. Hermetic feedthrough assemblies are also present within the lead bore passageway of each lead bore module. A feedthrough pin passes through a hermetic feedthrough assembly within a feedthrough passageway of each lead bore module. Each feedthrough pin is electrically coupled to a corresponding electrical contact and the medical device circuitry.
