1. An electronic assembly comprising:
- a substrate having first and second surfaces;
a first through-hole extending through the substrate from a first opening at the first surface to a second opening at the second surface;
a first projecting pin extending through the first opening into the first through-hole and terminating at a first pin terminal secured within the first through-hole;
a first cable that includes a first conductive member with first and second flexible end sections, the first flexible end section terminating at a first cable terminal, the first flexible end section extending through the second opening and including a spring structure that includes first and second bends within the first through-hole, and wherein the first cable terminal is forcibly engaged against the first pin terminal by a first force; and
a capture member disposed adjacent to the second surface of the substrate,wherein the capture member secures the first cable at a predetermined position relative to the substrate,wherein the capture member exerts a second force on the first cable urging the first cable toward the first through-hole, at least some of the second force being transmitted from through the first cable and into the pin terminal in the form of the first force, andwherein the capture member is secured in a fixed position relative to the substrate.

Abstract
An assembly for conducting an electronic signal. The assembly includes a substrate and an electronic cable. The substrate has distinct first and second regions to enable connection to first and second circuit boards, respectively. First and second through-holes are formed in the substrate in the first and second regions, respectively. The electronic cable is disposed within the first through-hole and extends out of the first through hole, adjacent the substrate and into the second through-hole.
