ABSTRACT:
A capacitive element for an implantable medical device feedthrough element includes a bore, to receive a feedthrough member, or pin of the filtered feedthrough element, an external surface extending laterally outward from a first opening of the bore, and a recessed area formed in the external surface and extending about an outer perimeter thereof. The recessed area may provide a location on which to apply a conductive material to form a joint that electrically couples the capacitive element to a ferrule of the filtered feedthrough element.
