The cover 14 may be in the form of a thermoplastic strip 15 overlying the terminal and fused to the backing strip on opposite sides of the terminal, or it could take the form of individual thermoplastic sleeves 16, 18 securing female and male terminals respectively to the backing strip. Indicia identifying the terminals may be embossed on the backing strip adjacent the terminals. The thermoplastic may be polyvinylchloride. A method of manufacturing the harness is described in which the leads are laid on a platform with their terminals, and sleeves, or the strip 15 under the leads, and the backing strip is dispensed from a reel.
