Abstract:
1. A terminal part for an electrode line for connection to an implantable cardiac stimulator and/or implantable defibrillator comprising: multiple hollow adapters having proximal longitudinal sections and distal longitudinal sections respectively; multiple insulation faces; multiple annular, electrically conductive contacts of equal external diameter wherein said multiple insulation faces of said equal external diameter are situated between said multiple annular, electrically conductive contacts in a longitudinal direction; multiple electrically conductive terminal lines of different lengths; wherein each of the electrically conductive contacts are electrically connected to a respective one of said multiple electrically conductive terminal lines; a terminus part having depressions on an outer portion of a distal longitudinal portion of said terminus part wherein said depressions are aligned in said longitudinal direction and offset inward toward a centerline of said terminus part wherein said terminus part is hollow and configured to couple with a distal longitudinal section of one of said multiple hollow adapters that is placed within a proximal portion of said terminus part that is hollow and wherein said terminus part is a most distal element that forms said terminal part; wherein said multiple insulation faces comprise an injection molding compound that surrounds each of said proximal longitudinal sections of each of said multiple hollow adapters; wherein said multiple annular, electrically conductive contacts are coupled between said multiple insulation faces; wherein said multiple electrically conductive terminal lines are situated in said depressions and wherein each of said multiple electrically conductive terminal lines of different lengths terminates at a respective one of said depressions in said terminus part and wherein each of said multiple electrically conductive terminal lines of different lengths terminates at a substantially same longitudinal distance along said terminus part and wherein said multiple electrically conductive terminal lines of different lengths do not extend beyond said terminus part; and, wherein said terminal part is configured to connect to an electrode line as an independent unit at said terminus part.
