1. A feedthrough terminal assembly for an active implantable medical device, comprising:
- a conductive ferrule conductively coupled to a housing of the active implantable medical device;
a conductive terminal pin extending through the ferrule in non-conductive relation;
an insulator disposed between the terminal pin and the ferrule;
a structural pad disposed adjacent to the insulator; and
a lead wire conductively coupled to the terminal pin by means of the structural pad.
