A clock spring wiring harness for an automotive steering apparatus has a resilient flexible flat cable containing flat conductors and terminated at its opposite ends by lead conductors. The flat cable is connected between a reel about which it is spirally wound and a fixed housing which supports the reel for rotation therein. The flat conductor/lead conductor terminations are formed by assembly of a stepped series of cradle assemblies integrally formed on and contained within terminal block ultrasonically welded together in assembly while subjected to a predetermined compressive force. Each lead conductor is normal to and continuously biased into direct electrical contacting engagement with an associated flat conductor in a region of termination defined by an associated one of the cradle assemblies.
