Abstract
A filtered feedthrough assembly includes a ferrule configured to be installed in an AIMD housing. An insulator is disposed within a ferrule opening. A conductive pathway is disposed within a passageway through the insulator. A filter capacitor is disposed on a device side having active and ground electrode plates disposed within a capacitor dielectric k greater than 0 and less than 1,000. A capacitor active metallization is electrically connected to the active electrode plates. A ground capacitor metallization is electrically connected to the ground electrode plates. The filter capacitor is the first filter capacitor electrically connected to the conductive pathway coming from a body fluid side into the device side. An active electrical connection electrically connects the conductive pathway to the capacitor active metallization. A ground electrical connection electrically connects the ground capacitor metallization to the ferrule. The filter capacitor is a flat-through or an X2Y attenuator filter capacitor.
