Disclosed herein is an implantable electronic device (20) for use with an implantable medical lead. The implantable electronic device (20) includes a housing (24) and a header connector assembly (200) coupled to the housing (24) and adapted to receive the proximal lead end (10) of the implantable medical lead. The header connector assembly (200) includes a connector assembly (100) including a connector (104), a feedthru (106) extending through the housing (24), and a conductor (110) coupling the feedthru (106) to the connector (104). The conductor (110) includes a first conductor segment (112A) and a second conductor segment (112B) offset from the first conductor segment (112A) and each of the first conductor segment (112A) and the second conductor segment (112B) are resistance welded to the connector (104).
