Abstract
On example provides a ferrule for an implantable medical device including a first frame body having a first perimeter surface to make a brazed connection to a first medical device component, and a second frame body having a first perimeter surface to make a welded connection to a second medical device component. A spacer flange connects a second perimeter surface of the first frame body to a second perimeter surface of the second frame body, a thickness between a top surface and bottom of the spacer flange being less than a thickness between a top surface and a bottom surface of the first frame body such that the spacer flange is to deflect relative to the first frame body in response to forces being applied to the second frame body so as to reduce transmission of weld strain from the second frame body to the first frame body.
