Abstract

A termination for a plurality of electrical conductors of a substrate includes a strain relief frame molded to the substrate, a connector housing having a plurality of electrical terminals positioned with respect to the frame to orient the terminals with respect to the conductors, and a plurality of the terminals being electrically connected to respective electrical conductors, the connections being made subsequent to the molding of the strain relief to the substrate. A cable termination assembly made by the process of molding a strain relief to a substrate having plural conductors in positional relation, said molding including leaving exposed connecting portions of respective conductors, subsequently attaching plural terminals respectively to exposed connecting portions of said conductors. A method of making a termination assembly includes molding a strain relief to a substrate having plural conductors in positional relation, said molding including leaving exposed connecting portions of respective conductors, subsequently attaching plural terminals respectively to exposed connecting portions of said conductors.
