In an exemplary embodiment, an IMD comprises: a housing comprising an open end and a header defining a cavity and comprising at least one conduit through a wall of the header, wherein the header is formed from a non-conductive material. Further, the IMD comprises a coupling member comprising a flange, wherein the flange is configured to be received by the open end of the housing and wherein the flange and the open end of the housing at least partially overlap along an axial direction of the IMD when the flange is received by the open end. Additionally, the IMD comprises an electrode arranged on an outer surface of the header and a feedthrough coupled to the electrode and extending through the conduit of the header, wherein the feedthrough is configured to be coupled to internal circuitry housed within the IMD. Further, the IMD comprises a ring forming a hermetic seal between the coupling member and the header.
