ABSTRACT:
An insulative shield is co-bonded to the top of a ceramic capacitor in a feedthrough terminal assembly on an active implantable medical device. The insulative shield is a thin substrate that provides protection against damage and degradation of the feedthrough capacitor and/or its conformal coating from heat, splatter or debris resulting from the electromechanical connection of components during construction of the assembly. Laser welding, thermal or ultrasonic bonding, soldering, brazing or related lead attachment techniques can create such heat, splatter or debris. In a preferred embodiment, the insulative shield is co-bonded using the capacitor's own conformal coating.
