A connector port or "header" for an implantable medical device comprises a molded
plastic connector module having a longitudinal bore formed therethrough and a plurality
of slots formed inwardly of one side surface thereof and intersecting the longitudinal
bore. The slots receive electrical contact members therein and individual seal
members are inserted through the longitudinal bore between each of the contact
members such that when the in-line terminal pin of a medical lead is inserted into
the longitudinal bore, contacts on the lead terminal are aligned with and mate
to the electrical contacts in the connector block. The seal members prevent body
fluids from compromising the resulting electrical connection.
