A flat capacitor includes a case having a feedthrough hole, a capacitor
stack located within the case, a coupling member having a base surface
directly attached to the capacitor stack and having a portion extending
through the feedthrough hole, the coupling member having a mounting hole,
a feedthrough conductor having a portion mounted within the mounting
hole, and a sealing member adjacent the feedthrough hole and the
feedthrough conductor for sealing the feedthrough hole. Other aspects of
the invention include various implantable medical devices, such as
pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardioverters, incorporating one or more
features of the exemplary feedthrough assembly.
