A feedthrough terminal assembly for an active implantable medical device
(AIMD) includes magnetic shielding elements to block incident magnetic
fields during medical procedures such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The
assembly includes conductive or ground plate(s) embedded in an insulator
surrounding elements of the assembly, a plurality of lead wires extending
from electronic circuitry of the AIMD, and a lossy ferrite inductor
through which the lead wires extend in non-conductive relation for
increasing the impedance of the lead wires at selected RF frequencies.
Alternatively, the assembly includes a conductive sleeve or cap
surrounding the feedthrough capacitor and/or conductive support.
