Abstract: An AIMD includes a conductive housing, an electrically conductive ferrule with an insulator hermetically sealing the ferrule opening. A conductive pathway is hermetically sealed and disposed through the insulator. A filter capacitor is disposed on a circuit board within the housing and has a dielectric body supporting at least two active and two ground electrode plates interleaved, wherein the at least two active electrode plates are electrically connected to the conductive pathway on the device side, and the at least two ground electrode plates are electrically coupled to either the ferrule and/or the conductive housing. The dielectric body has a dielectric constant less than 1000 and a capacitance of between 10 and 20,000 picofarads. The filter capacitor is configured for EMI filtering of MRI high RF pulsed power by a low ESR, wherein the ESR of the filter capacitor at an MRI RF pulsed frequency or range of frequencies is less than 2.0 ohms.

Abstract: An EMI filtered terminal assembly including at least one conductive terminal pin, a feedthrough capacitor, and a counter-bore associated with a passageway through the capacitor is described. Preferably, the feedthrough capacitor having counter-drilled or counter-bored holes on its top side is first bonded to a hermetic insulator. The counter-drilled or counter-bore holes in the capacitor provide greater volume for the electro-mechanical attachment between the capacitor and the terminal pin or lead wire, permitting robotic dispensing of, for example, thermal-setting conductive adhesive.
