  • HYBRID SPRING CONTACT SYSTEM FOR EMI FILTERED HERMETIC SEALS FOR ACTIVE IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICES
    Publication number: 20060221543
    Abstract: A feedthrough terminal assembly for an active implantable medical device utilizes an insert to establish a reliable electrical connection between capacitor electrode plates, via inner surface metallization of a capacitor aperture, and an associated terminal pin 10, which passes at least partially therethrough. The inserts are preferably resiliently flexible, such as a spring, to establish this connection. The insert also serves to establish a mechanical connection between the capacitor and the terminal pin.
