Abstract
A feedthrough assembly for an implantable medical device includes one or more electrically conductive pins extending through apertures in a case of the medical device with the electrically conductive pins being insulated from the case. The feedthrough assembly further includes a printed circuit board having a diode protection circuit mounted thereon. The printed circuit board forms at least a part of electrically conductive paths for connection of the electrically conductive pins to a medical device circuit assembly mounted within the case. The printed circuit board further provides for electrical connection of the diode protection circuit mounted thereon between the electrically conductive pins and the case.
