Abstract
A feedthrough capacitor includes an inner electrode that extends coaxially within a grounded outer electrode. A non-conductive, epoxy-based potting material insulates and adhesively joins opposing roughened portions of the inner and outer electrodes. A capacitor assembly extends between the inner and outer electrode and serves to bypass relatively high frequency signals carried by the inner electrode to the grounded outer electrode. The capacitor assembly includes a plurality of monolithic multilayer ceramic capacitors, each capacitor having first and second terminals that are respectively surface mounted onto inner and outer concentric conductive rings. A plurality of deflectable tines project radially inward from the inner ring and resiliently circumferentially contact the exterior of the inner electrode. Similarly, a plurality of deflectable tines project radially outward from the outer ring and resiliently circumferentially contact the interior of the outer electrode.
