An EMI filter capacitor assembly utilizes biocompatible and non-migratable materials
to adapt electronic components for direct body fluid exposure. The assembly includes
a capacitor having first and second sets of electrode plates which are constructed
of non-migratable biocompatible material. A conductive hermetic terminal of non-migratable
and biocompatible material adjacent to the capacitor is conductively coupled to
the second set of electrode plates. One or more conductive terminal pins having
at least an outer surface of non-migratable and biocompatible material are conductively
coupled to the first set of electrode plates, while extending through the hermetic
terminal in non-conductive relation. The terminal pins may be in direct contact
with the first set of electrode plates, or in contact with a termination surface
of conductive connection material. The termination surface is also constructed
of non-migratable and biocompatible materials. Layers of glass may be disposed
over surfaces of the assembly, including the capacitor.
