Abstract:
1. A filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly for an implantable active medical device comprising: a capacitor having an aperture, the capacitor electrically grounded to an electrically conductive feedthrough ferrule or housing of the implantable active medical device with an electrically conductive continuous coil comprising an inner diameter defined by a plurality of coils, each coil having a coil diameter different than the inner diameter, with the capacitor present within the inner diameter of the continuous coil so that the plurality of coils circumferentially surround the capacitor and an exterior surface of the capacitor defines a ledge and the electrically conductive continuous coil is disposed on the ledge; and a terminal pin extending into the aperture, the terminal pin mechanically secured and electrically coupled to the capacitor.
