At the same time, implantable ceramic feedthrough connectors are moving towards this miniaturization in order to save space as much as possible.
The feed-through connectors currently in clinical use are mainly products of foreign companies such as Medtronic in the united states. PCT patent application (application publication No. CN 102483994 a) by madtonic corporation, usa, into china, designed a ceramic assembly of brazed feedthroughs. The patent is only concerned with the requirements for surface cracking and roughness of the insulator. The invention patent of the national Qinghua university (publication No. CN 102872529A) designs a ceramic feed-through connector for an implantable electrical stimulator, which supplements the problems of assembly and the like, but does not describe and explain the performance of the ceramic feed-through connector in detail and has certain limitation. In practical application, the ceramic feed-through connector still has great improvement space, so that the ceramic feed-through connector is more matched with a lead bending and laser welding process in the subsequent application process.

The arrangement is that when the metal flange is connected with the shell of the implant in a sealing mode through laser welding subsequently, the laser welding part is far away from the brazing sealing part, the influence of external heat input on the sealing part in the laser welding process is avoided, meanwhile, the subsequent laser welding of shells with different thicknesses can be achieved through different step thicknesses, and the applicability is high.
Specifically, the sealing body is made of gold, titanium or alloy materials.
Specifically, the inner wall of the metal flange is parallel to the outer wall of the insulator, and the gap between the inner wall of the metal flange and the outer wall of the insulator is between 20 and 30 micrometers. The provision of the reserved gap facilitates the capillary action of the brazing filler metal of the sealing body and reduces the influence of the thermal expansion coefficient on the sealing quality.
Specifically, the wire is a cylindrical metal filament with the diameter of 0.33-0.4 mm. The diameter and the initial length of the wire are set to meet the requirements of different products, and the applicability is high.
