description A conductor assembly electrically connects a transducer supported on an E-block to a flex circuit mounted to the E-block. A conductor strip has a plurality of electrical conductors connected to the transducer. A fin is coupled to the plurality of conductors. The fin engages a slot on the E-block, and a plurality of conductive tabs are electrically connected to respective ones of the electrical conductors. The tabs extend from the slot and rigidly engage tabs on the flex circuit to prevent the fins from disengaging the slot.
