A feedthrough device having a ground wire that is coupled to both a metallic ferrule and to an insulating material and methods of making the device are provided. The ground wire is coupled or brazed between, adjacent to, or otherwise in direct contact with the metallic ferrule and the insulating mat

A feedthrough device having a ground wire that is coupled to both a metallic ferrule and to an insulating material and methods of making the device are provided. The ground wire is coupled or brazed between, adjacent to, or otherwise in direct contact with the metallic ferrule and the insulating material, for example, in a gap between the insulating material and the ferrule, or directly to the side of the insulating material and abutting the surface of the ferrule. If the ground wire is coupled or brazed in a gap, the gap may be formed by a notch in either the insulating material, the ferrule or both.
