  • Filtering assembly and a feedthrough assembly
    Patent number: 7511938
    Abstract: Filtering assembly for a feedthrough, for implantable medical devices, having operating conductive pin(s) and a ground conductive pin. The filtering assembly has: first insulating substrate, first conductive layer accommodated at first side of first insulating substrate and second conductive layer accommodated at second side of first insulating substrate opposing first side, first conductive layer comprises a conductive ground ring accommodated that surrounds the circumference of one end of the operating conductive pins and capacitive element(s), wherein each of the capacitive element(s) provides on the first side a connection to the operating conductive pin(s) and on the second side a connection to the ground ring, wherein the ground ring is connected to the ground pin, the second conductive layer comprises a ground plane providing connection to the ground ring of the first conductive layer and a connection to the ground pin.
