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.
