The present disclosure relates generally to catheter devices, including irrigated and non-irrigated ablation catheters. More specifically, this disclosure relates to irrigated ablation catheters including an irrigation lumen having at least one electronic device at least partially disposed therein. In many embodiments, the irrigation lumen further includes at least one sideport. In some embodiments, the electronic device has a distal end extending out of the irrigation lumen and into an electrode tip assembly. In some embodiments, a proximal end of the electronic device extends through the sideport in the irrigation lumen.
