Claim 14:
15. The catheter of claim 1, wherein the at least one conducting member of the magnetic-based sensor assembly includes at least three conducting members, each of the at least three conducting members comprising a respective wire having respective first and second ends, each respective wire comprising:
a respective coil region wrapped on the support member at a respective location along the length of the support member, and
a respective joint region adjacent its associated respective coil region, the joint region comprising:
a first respective connection of the first end of the respective wire to a respective cable member at a first respective location proximal of its associated respective coil region, and
a second respective connection of the second end of the respective wire to the respective cable member at a second respective location proximal of its associated respective coil region,
a first respective strain relief construction comprising a first respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member around the support member,
a second respective strain relief construction comprising a second respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member around the support member, the second respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member being spaced from the first respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member, and
a third respective strain relief construction comprising a third respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member around the support member, the third respective plurality of windings of the respective cable member being spaced from the first and second respective pluralities of windings of the respective cable member;

each respective cable member being adapted to transmit a respective signal providing location information from the respective conducting member to the mapping and localization system, and each respective joint region provides strain relief to the respective coil region and the respective cable member from detaching.
