1. An electronic device comprising:
an interface block including:
a flange assembly defining an aperture,
a feedthrough pin extending through the aperture and defining a leading region opposite a trailing region,
wherein the leading and trailing regions are disposed at opposite sides of the flange assembly;
a printed circuit board assembly including a substrate carrying a circuitry trace and a conductor body electrically coupled to the circuitry trace;
a reflow solder bond between the trailing region and the conductor body;
wherein a central axis of the trailing region is substantially parallel with a major plane of the substrate;
a housing coupled to the flange assembly; and
electrical circuitry maintained within the housing, the electrical circuitry including an electrical component electrically coupled to the circuitry trace opposite the conductor body.
