The present application is directed to an enclosure for hermetically sealing ceramic filters. The enclosure includes a container body with a hollow cavity for receiving electronic components. A container lid is hermetically sealed to the body to maintain a controlled environment. A connector allows for communicating between the electronic components received within the enclosure and other electronic components located outside the enclosure. The enclosure also includes a filter having a block of dielectric material with a top surface including a patterned region, a bottom surface, and side surfaces. A through-hole extends through the block from the top surface to the bottom surface. The through-hole is partially surrounded by the patterned region. A wall extends from the top surface, and has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a roof. The application is also directed to a system including a printed circuit board and a filter provided in the enclosure.
