1. A load-carrying body for reducing torsional and tensile loading on electronic components in an implantable medical electrical lead, comprising:

  • an electronic component disposed in-line with an implantable medical electrical lead, the electronic component having a proximal end conductively coupled to a lead conductor and a distal end conductively coupled to a lead electrode; and

    a casing for the electronic component, the casing being mechanically coupled to the lead so as to isolate the electronic component from torque or tensile loads applied to the lead, the lead electrode, or both.
