    Abstract: An active medical device has a feedthrough with at least two terminal pins that are connected to electronic components in the device housing. A lead connector is connected to a strain-relief device for a lead. The lead connector supports at least two connector pins that are detachably connected to the device terminal pins to thereby connect the device electronic components to the lead electrodes. The device housing has a length extending along a longitudinal axis, and secondary axes of the terminal pins connected to the connector pins are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis. The feedthrough also has a hub that extends distally from the body fluid side end surface of the ferrule. The hub has an opening. The lead connector has an inlet with inlet opening. A screw in the hub and inlet openings secures the medical device to the lead connector, the strain-relief device, and the lead.
