Various systems require electrical coupling between electrical devices disposed within a sealed enclosure or housing and devices or systems external to the enclosure. Oftentimes, such electrical coupling needs to withstand various environmental factors such that a conductive pathway or pathways from the external surface of the enclosure to within the enclosure remains stable. For example, implantable medical devices (IMDs), e.g., cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, neurostimulators and drug pumps, which include electronic circuitry and one or more power sources, require an enclosure or housing to contain and seal these elements within a body of a patient. Many of these IMDs include one or more electrical feedthrough assemblies to provide electrical connections between the elements contained within the housing and components of the IMD external to the housing, for example, one or more sensors, electrodes, and lead wires mounted on an exterior surface of the housing, or electrical contacts housed within a connector header, which is mounted on the housing to provide coupling for one or more implantable leads, which typically carry one or more electrodes and/or one or more other types of physiological sensors. A physiological sensor, for example a pressure sensor, incorporated within a body of a lead may also require a hermetically-sealed housing to contain electronic circuitry of the sensor and an electrical feedthrough assembly to provide electrical connection between one or more lead wires, which extend within the implantable lead body, and the contained circuitry.
