The invention provides a plug for an electronic plucked string instrument having a structure for fixing with a set screw by inserting a cable into a sleeve in a plug side. A biting convex portion biting into an insulated outer sheath while receiving a screwing compression force of a set screw via a cable is formed integrally on an inner peripheral surface of an attachment sleeve in a plug side along a peripheral direction of a sleeve inner peripheral surface. The biting convex portion formed on the inner peripheral surface of the attachment sleeve in the plug bites into the insulated outer sheath of the cable. Thus, a slip displacement against a sleeve inner surface of the cable is inhibited by the biting convex portion and a slack of the set screw can be effectively suppressed even in a case where a stronger tensile force is applied to the cable.

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.
