Abstract:
An implantable medical device of the type comprising a housing having a housing cavity enclosing a plurality of like electrical components assembled into an electrical component sub-assembly, wherein the electrical component sub-assembly further comprises:first and second electrical components, each electrical component comprising a electrical component case comprising first and second generally opposed, electrical component case major sides joined together through a continuous electrical component case minor side that maintains the first and second electrical component case major case sides substantially in parallel alignment, whereby the junction of the first electrical component case major side with the electrical component case minor side defines a perimeter having a bend radius; a shape conforming insulating spacer of an insulating material interposed between the major sides of the electrical components, respectively, the shape conforming insulating spacer having a spacer bottom shaped to conform to the shape of the first electrical component case major side of the first electrical component and a spacer rim shaped to conform with the bend in the perimeter of the first electrical component case major side of the first electrical component; and means contacting at least portions of the continuous minor case sides of the electrical component cases for maintaining the sub-assembly of the electrical components with the shape conforming insulating spacer interposed therebetween.
