Protect the wires from shorts to the underside of the PCB module (the pins for the connectors poke through the board). The pins can be sharp and can rip through the insulation material.
Connector pins are highlighted in blue here (this is a view of the underside of the PCB.
Provide strain relief - I need to make a confluence page on why this is important
...
The area with all 14 wires going through it at the top will be filled with a rubbery glue - to provide some strain relief to the cables.
Features relevant to Isolation Cover
When the isolation cover, a few features are needed.
How will we get it on - the chamfer (red) allows a lead-in so that it is easier to push the isolation cover on top - otherwise, it would need to be aligned perfectly prior to pressing it in.
The holes (blue) allow the pins on the isolation cover to lock in and keep the isolation cover on the module.
