1. An electrical harness assembly comprising:

  • a first conductor trace, extending along an axis of the electrical harness assembly and comprising a first conductor lead and a first connecting end, monolithic with the first conductor lead;

    a second conductor trace, extending along the axis of the electrical harness assembly and comprising a second conductor lead and a second connecting end, monolithic with the second conductor lead,a third conductor trace, extending along the axis of the electrical harness assembly and comprising a third conductor lead and a third connecting end, monolithic with the third conductor lead; and

    an insulator, comprising a first elongated opening, extending along the axis of the electrical harness assembly and partially dividing the insulator into a first insulator strip and a second insulator strip and further comprising a second elongated opening, extending along the axis and partially dividing the insulator into a third insulator strip and the second insulator strip, wherein;

    the first conductor lead is laminated to the first insulator strip and away from the first elongated opening;

    the second conductor lead is laminated to the second insulator strip and away from the first elongated opening;

    the third conductor lead is laminated to the third insulator strip and away from the second elongated opening;

    the second conductor lead is positioned away from the second elongated opening;

    the first elongated opening has a closed shape such that the first insulator strip and the second insulator strip are joined together and monolithic at both ends of the first elongated opening;

    the second elongated opening has a closed shape such that the second insulator strip and the third insulator strip are joined together and monolithic at both ends of the second elongated opening; and

    the first elongated opening and the second elongated opening have different lengths along the axis.
