Abstract
An I/O card and associated cable harness assembly (20) comprises an I/O card section (22) and a cable harness section (60) wherein the cable harness section (60) substantially structurally extends out of the I/O card section (22). The distal end of the cable harness section (60) is connected to an outside environment device (100). The cable harness section (60) has an engagement section (72) adapted to be latchably engaged within a cavity (32) in the I/O card section (22). There are a plurality of independent respective wires (64) extending within and along the cable harness section (60), and the front end of each wire (64) is appropriately solderably mounted to the corresponding pad on the internal PC board (26) in the I/O card section (22). The cable harness section (60) is substantially pre-assembled to the I/O card section (22) before the I/O card section (22) itself has been completely assembled. The I/O card section (22) associated with its integrally assembled cable harness section (60) is substantially structurally of one piece without any possibility of improper separation thereof, and that one piece assembly (20) may be substantially with the outside environment device (1…
