AB  - Further development of active implantable medical devices (AIMDs) coming along 
      with higher channel counts and improved maintainability raises the requirements 
      for implantable connectors in such systems. We developed a concept for an 
      implantable multichannel connector. Contact pads manufactured by 
      laser-structuring that are embedded into a silicone substrate serve as contact 
      partners. Processing features specific to two laser technologies were exploited 
      not only to cut the materials but also to 3D-shape the surfaces of the contact 
      pads. First tests for the long-term behavior show stable contact and isolation 
      properties during 6 weeks of soaking at elevated temperature.
