Title: System and method for implantable electrical connector

Abstract

A high density electrical connector system is disclosed which may make use of first and second connector components. The first connector component has a first substrate with a first plurality of electrical feedthroughs and at least a first plurality of electrically conductive bond pads in communication with the first plurality of electrical feedthroughs. The second connector component has a second substrate with a second plurality of electrical feedthroughs and at least a second plurality of electrically conductive bond pads in communication with the second plurality of electrical feedthroughs. An electrical coupling subsystem is disposed between the first and second connector components and makes electrical contact between associated pairs of the first and second pluralities of electrically conductive bond pads. A plurality of fasteners may be used for clamping the first and second connector components in facing relationship.
