摘要：
An EMI/energy dissipating filter for an active implantable medical device (AIMD) is described. The filter comprises a first gold braze hermetically sealing the insulator to a ferrule that is configured to be mounted in an opening in a housing for the AIMD. A lead wire is hermetically sealed in a passageway through the insulator by a second gold braze. A circuit board substrate is disposed adjacent the insulator. A two-terminal chip capacitor disposed adjacent to the circuit board has an active metallization that is electrically connected to the active electrode plates and a ground metallization that is electrically connected to the ground electrode plates of the capacitor. A ground electrical path extends from the ground metallization of the chip capacitor to the ferrule. A conductive ground pin is electrically and mechanically connected to the ferrule. The ground path comprises an internal ground plate disposed within the circuit board substrate. The internal ground plate is electrically connected to the ground metallization of the chip capacitor and to either the ferrule or the ground pin connected to the ferrule. An active electrical path extends between the active metallization of the chip capacitor and the lead wire.
