Wire comb with curved arcuate section configured to engage a printed circuit board

A circuit board assembly comprising:

• a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising an upper surface and a lower surface, opposing ends, and side edges;
• a wire comb mounted on the upper surface of and proximate to one of the opposing ends of the PCB, said wire comb comprising:
• a flat body comprising a first end and a second end connected by an arcuate section comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
• a wire mount area on the upper surface forming a plurality of openings each opening formed in the upper surface and comprising a first shape, wherein the printed circuit board further comprises a plurality of solder pads arranged in an arcuate pattern and corresponding to the plurality of openings of the wire mount area;
• and
• a mounting feature extending from at least one of the first end and the second end and engaging the lower surface of the printed circuit board;
• and
• a multi-wire cable comprising a plurality of wires arranged in an arcuate pattern corresponding to the arcuate section of the flat body of the wire comb, each wire comprising:
• an insulated portion located in one of the plurality of openings of the wire mount area;
• and
• a stripped portion located proximate the upper surface of the printed circuit board.

A wire comb comprising:

• an integrally formed body comprising a first end and a second end connected by an arcuate section comprising an upper surface and a lower surface;
• and
• a mounting feature extending from at least one of the first end and the second end and adapted to engage a printed circuit board,
• wherein the arcuate section defines a plurality of tunnels extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, each of the plurality of tunnels comprising a shape selected to receive and hold a wire within,
• wherein the arcuate section comprises:
• a first guide feature;
• a second guide feature, wherein the first guide feature and the second guide feature cooperate to form a portion of a first one of the plurality of tunnels;
• a third guide feature;
• and
• a fourth guide feature,
• wherein the third guide feature and the fourth guide feature cooperate to form a portion of a second one of the plurality of tunnels,
• wherein the first one of the plurality of tunnels has a first width, and
• wherein the second one of the plurality of tunnels has a second width different than the first width.
