FILTERING CAPACITOR FEEDTHROUGH ASSEMBLY AND AN IMPLANTABLE ACTIVE MEDICAL DEVICE COMPRISING SUCH AN ASSEMBLY

摘要

A filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly (200) for an implantable active medical device (20) is disclosed. The filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly- includes a capacitor (210) having an aperture (215) defined by an inner capacitor surface (216). The capacitor is electrically grounded to an electrically conductive feedthrough ferrule (220) or housing (109) of the implantable active medical device. A terminal pin (230) extends into the aperture. An electrically conductive split ring sleeve (240) is disposed within the aperture and between the terminal pin and the capacitor. The split ring sleeve includes a first end (241), a second end (242), a sleeve length (L) therebetween. A longitudinal slit (243) through the sleeve (240) extends from the first end to the second end. The electrically conductive split ring sleeve mechanically securing and electrically coupling the terminal pin to the capacitor. And an implantable active medical device (20), comprising such a filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly (200).
