<p>A stiffly extensible strain relief sleeve (24), in order to protect the crimped connections (27) between the conductors and the terminals (28) when the connector has been unmated from the activating assembly (19) and is accidentally pulled, fixed to a clock spring cassette (6) and a connector (18). The sleeve (24) has a passage (26) which is oversized with respect to the lead portion (16) and through which the lead portion (16) extends freely. When the connector (18) is pulled, the sleeve (24) elongates sligthly and cable is drawn from a wave (168) formed therein to compensate for the elongation of the sleeve (24).</p> |
