The transition region has a bottom wall and two side walls, each side wall having a first height and second height, the second height being less than the first height. The side walls of the transition region are folded over to secure a plurality of conductors, and the second height of the side walls allows the plurality of conductors to be viewed for inspection. Further, the bottom wall and side walls of the transition region have side embossments that reinforce the strength of the walls.
