Patent ID: 7260434

Claim:
A feedthrough apparatus for an implantable medical device having a casing and a connector assembly comprising: a conductive housing having an outer side, an inner side, and a peripheral surface with a continuous assembly groove therein for mounting on the casing of the implantable medical device; a first filtered feedthrough assembly mounted on the conductive housing comprising an insulative terminal, a filter capacitor, and a plurality of lead wires electrically isolated from the conductive housing supported on and extending through the insulative terminal and through the filter capacitor in conductive relation therewith; a second filtered feedthrough assembly mounted on the conductive housing comprising an insulative terminal, a filter capacitor, and a plurality of lead wires electrically isolated from the conductive housing supported on and extending through the insulative terminal and through the filter capacitor in conductive relation therewith, wherein the first and second filtered feedthrough assemblies are positioned in a side-by-side, spaced relationship; and a backfill port on the conductive housing and defining a passageway extending between the inner side and the outer side, the backfill port having a distal and proximal end, the proximal end located on the conductive housing, and the distal end having an annular flange, wherein the annular flange is embedded in the connector assembly of the implantable medical device.
