A flexible tip electrode for an ablation catheter and methods for making the same are disclosed. The electrode has a surface configuration including gaps that improve flexibility of the electrode and permit bending of the electrode tip relative to a longitudinal axis of a catheter body. Also, the gaps may allow electrode lengthwise freedom of movement, such that the electrode may be shortened when pressed against the target tissue.
