Abstract
Implantable medical devices comprising electromagnetic interference shields which incorporate a dump resistor and various enhancements to control high voltage arcing. Included are embodiments in which a dump resistor is provided in a flexible shield having first and second conductive layers, where the resistor is provided in a layer between the conductive layers. In additional examples the design of plated through-holes is done to avoid the potential for arcing while maintaining close spacing.
