Abstract:
1. An implantable medical device comprising: a capacitor assembly comprising at least two capacitors, each enclosed within a housing, said housings of said at least two capacitors each having perimeter surfaces that, when assembled, establish a component footprint including a notched zone within an area defined by intersecting linear extensions of at least two perimeter surfaces of each of the housings, and wherein each of the at least two capacitors of the capacitor assembly has electrical leads adjacent the notched zone; and an electrical connector block coupled to the electrical leads and comprising one or more connection points for connection to another component within the implantable medical device, the electrical connector block being disposed within the notched zone, the electrical connector block being embedded within the component footprint in the area thereof defined by the intersecting linear extensions of the at least two perimeter surfaces of the housings without any connection points of the electrical connector block protruding beyond a boundary established by the intersecting linear extensions of the at least two perimeter surfaces, and wherein, within the notched zone, the electrical connector block connects at least one electrical lead of each of the at least two capacitors in the capacitor assembly to a common connection point in the electrical connector block.
