Abstract
A method for coupling a capacitor to a feedthrough assembly that includes a ferrule and a terminal pin therethrough is provided. The method comprises dispensing an epoxy onto an outer surface of the feedthrough assembly. A capacitor, which has an opening therethrough for receiving the terminal pin and cooperates therewith to form a cavity, is placed over the ferrule to contact the epoxy. A weight is placed on the capacitor to position it with respect to the terminal pin, and the epoxy is cured.
