Patent ID: 7511938

Claim:
A filtering assembly for a feedthrough for implantable medical devices comprising: a feedthrough comprising at least one operating conductive pin and, a ground conductive pin; a filtering assembly comprising a first insulating substrate; a first conductive layer accommodated at a first side of said first insulating substrate and a second conductive layer accommodated at a second side of said first insulating substrate opposing said first side; said first conductive layer comprising a conductive ground ring accommodated in a way that surrounds a circumference of one end of said at least one operating conductive pin and at least one capacitive element, wherein each of said at least one capacitive element provides on a first side a connection to one or more of said at least one operating conductive pin and on a second side a connection to said conductive ground ring, wherein said conductive ground ring is connected to said ground conductive pin; said second conductive layer comprising a ground plane that provides a connection to said conductive ground ring of said first conductive layer and a connection to said ground conductive pin.
