摘要:
A capacitor comprising a casing of first and second casing members secured to each other to provide an enclosure, a feedthrough electrically insulated from the casing and extending there from through a glass-to-metal seal, first and second anodes electrically connected to each other within the casing, a cathode, and an electrolyte is described. The cathode comprises cathode active material deposited on planar faces of the first and second casing members. There is also a cathode current collector disposed intermediate the first and second anodes. The cathode current collector supports cathode active material on both of its major faces and includes a tab that is directly electrically connected to a ferrule of the glass-to-metal seal. That way, the casing is the negative terminal for the cathode and a feedthrough pin extending through the glass-to-metal seal is the positive terminal for the anode of the capacitor.

摘要:
Structures for serially connecting at least two capacitors together are described. Serially connecting capacitors together provides device manufactures, such as those selling implantable medical devices, with broad flexibility in terms of both how many capacitors are incorporated in the device and what configuration the capacitor assembly will assume.
摘要:
An RF filter for an active medical device (AMD), for handling RF power induced in an associated lead from an external RF field at a selected MRI frequency or range frequencies includes a capacitor having a capacitance of between 100 and 10,000 picofarads, and a temperature stable dielectric having a dielectric constant of 200 or less and a temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) within the range of plus 400 to minus 7112 parts per million per degree centigrade. The capacitor's dielectric loss tangent in ohms is less than five percent of the capacitor's equivalent series resistance (ESR) at the selected MRI RF frequency or range of frequencies.
