Abstract: A filtered feedthrough comprises an insulator sealed in a ferrule opening. A terminal pin sealed in an insulator via hole has a first end that extends outwardly beyond an insulator device side. A filter capacitor adjacent to the insulator device side has a dielectric supporting interleaved active and ground electrode plates. A passageway extending through the dielectric has an internal metallization. An external metallization is on a terminated portion as opposed to an unterminated portion of the dielectric outer surface. The capacitor ground electrode plates extend to the external metallization at the terminated portion, but they do not extend to the unterminated outer surface portion. The outwardly extending terminal pin end is connected to the internal metallization in the dielectric passageway which in turn is connected to the active electrode plates. A conductive material connects the capacitor external metallization at the terminated dielectric outer surface portion to a system ground.
