Abstract
An airbag connector and cable assembly comprises a connector having a cable receiving cavity and a cable outlet extending perpendicularly to the cavity. A flat cable terminated to the connector is folded along a fold in the cable outlet region of the connector. The cable is then looped over the fold to provide a flexible loop. The loop enables absorption of tolerance in the positioning of the cable at the outlet with respect to the fold, without causing undue force on the conductors that are bent through the fold. The latter insures a high reliability and is cost effective.
