Abstract
A plastic housing comprised of a pair of identical half sections joined along peripheral edges thereof so as to form a generally hollow shell structure having an elongated linear aperture and a circular aperture in facing end portions thereof encloses a printed circuit (PC) board. A flat ribbon cable extends through the elongated linear aperture, while a round cable extends through the circular aperture, with both cables coupled to the PC board. Elongated projections having a half-cylinder cross section are disposed immediately above and below each of the apertures on the facing end portions of the housing so as to restrict the bending of and limit the strain upon the cables extending from the apertures in the housing.
