A filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly for an implantable active
medical device is disclosed. The filtering capacitor feedthrough assembly
includes a capacitor having an aperture, the capacitor is electrically
grounded to an electrically conductive feedthrough ferrule or housing of
the implantable active medical device. A terminal pin extends into the
aperture and an electrically conductive continuous coil is disposed
within the aperture and between the terminal pin and the capacitor. The
electrically conductive continuous coil mechanically secures and
electrically couples the terminal pin to the capacitor.
