Abstract
One example provides a ferrule for an implantable medical device including a frame body having an upper surface and an opposing lower surface, an interior perimeter surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces for attachment to an insulator body, and an exterior perimeter surface extending between the upper and lower surfaces for attachment to a housing. A flange extends from the exterior perimeter surface and has an upper surface facing the upper surface of the frame body, the upper surface of the flange to engage an interior surface of a housing of the implantable medical device to limit a position of the housing along the exterior perimeter surface in a direction toward the bottom surface of the frame body, wherein a distance of the top surface of the flange from the top surface of the frame body is greater than and proportional to a thickness of the housing.
