The invention relates to the attachment of a multiple-conductor electronic
cable to an electronic circuit in a sealed housing. The cable is placed
in a sheath of a heat-deformable material and the method comprises the
following steps: placing a rigid bushing (40) with a protruding collar
(48) on the exposed end of the cable, heating the end in a conical mold
or softening the sheath, inserting the bushing between the cable
conductors and the softened sheath, the collar of the bushing pushing the
sheath material until the conical portion of the mold is filled, cooling
the sheath for solidifying it, extracting the end of the cable from the
mold, the end having a conical portion with an increasing diameter ending
with the protruding collar, inserting the cable in the housing opening
from the inside before closing the housing. The invention can be used or
an intra-oral dental radiology sensor.
