A method for coupling a capacitor to a feedthrough assembly that includes
a ferrule and a terminal pin therethrough is provided. The method
comprises dispensing an epoxy onto an outer surface of the feedthrough
assembly. A capacitor, which has an opening therethrough for receiving
the terminal pin and cooperates therewith to form a cavity, is placed
over the ferrule to contact the epoxy. A weight is placed on the
capacitor to position it with respect to the terminal pin, and the epoxy
is cured.
