A feedthrough filter capacitor assembly includes a conductive terminal pin which
extends through a first passageway of a capacitor in conductive relation with a
first set of electrode plates, and through a conductive ferrule and an insulator
in non-conductive relation. The insulator includes ground plates conductively coupled
to the ferrule. A second set of electrode plates of the capacitor are conductively
coupled to the insulator ground plates, such as by a ground pin extending through
the capacitor in relation with the second set of electrode plates, and at least
partially extending through a second passageway of the insulator in conductive
relation with the ground plates. In this manner, the exterior electrical/mechanical
connection between the capacitor and ferrule or other ground member is eliminated.
