Abstract
An implantable pulse generator includes a header, a can and a feedthru. The feedthru is mounted in a wall of the can and includes an electrically insulating core, a PCB, a shield, a chip capacitor, a power circuit and a ground circuit. A first side of the PCB abuts against the core and a second side of the PCB abuts against an edge of the shield. The chip capacitor is mounted on the second side of the PCB. The chip capacitor is enclosed in a volume defined by an interior of the shield and the second side of the PCB. A first electrical contact of the chip capacitor is electrically coupled to the power circuit, and a second electrical contact of the chip capacitor is electrically coupled to the ground circuit.
