Abstract:
1. A hermetically sealed filtered feedthrough assembly for an implantable medical device, the filtered feedthrough assembly comprising: a) an insulator of electrically non-conductive material, the insulator comprising an outer insulator surface extending longitudinally from a first insulator end to a second insulator end, wherein the insulator has at least one conductor bore extending there through to the first and second insulator ends; b) a ferrule of an electrically conductive material, the ferrule comprising a ferrule sidewall defining a ferrule opening, wherein the insulator is hermetically sealed to the conductive ferrule sidewall in the ferrule opening; c) a conductor comprising an electrically conductive material extending from a first conductor end to a second conductor end, wherein the conductor is hermetically sealed and disposed through the conductor bore in the insulator and in a non-conductive relation with the conductive ferrule; d) a filter capacitor, comprising: e) a first metallization electrically contacted to the at least one active electrode plate in the terminal in bore; f) a first electrical connection electrically coupling the first metallization to the conductor extending through the terminal pin bore in the dielectric; g) a second metallization electrically contacted to the at least one ground electrode plate at at least a portion of the outer dielectric surface; and h) a second electrical connection electrically coupling the second metallization to the ferrule, wherein the second electrical connection comprises:
