Zusammenfassung:One aspect relates to an electrical bushing for use in a housing of an implantable medical device. The electrical bushing includes at least one electrically insulating base body and at least one electrical conducting element. The conducting element is set-up to establish, through the base body, at least one electrically conductive connection between an internal space of the housing and an external space. The conducting element is hermetically sealed with respect to the base body. The at least one conducting element includes at least one cermet. The at least one conducting element has a cross-section, a length, and a resistivity which provide the electrically conductive connection to have an ohmic series resistance of less than or equal to 1 Ohm. One aspect also relates to and implantable medical device and a use of at least one cermet-comprising conducting element in an electrical bushing for an implantable medical device.
