1. A leadless biostimulator, comprising:
a housing comprising an electronics compartment;
an electronics assembly mounted in the electronics compartment; and
an electrical feedthrough assembly, the electrical feedthrough assembly including:
an electrode body including an electrode wall;
an electrode tip on a distal end of the electrode body wherein the electrode tip is electrically conductive and configured to be placed in contact with target tissue to which a pacing impulse is to be transmitted by the leadless biostimulator;
a flange mounted on the housing and connected to the housing by a hermetic seal; and
an insulator that electrically isolates the flange from the electrode body, the insulator including an insulator wall extending distally from an insulator base, the insulator wall extending circumferentially around at least a portion of the electrode body;
wherein the flange includes a mounting wall extending circumferentially around at least a portion of the insulator wall.
