The elongate tubular member (124) is at least partially supported by the housing (12) and defines a center lumen (122) and a longitudinal axis. The drive assembly (14) extends from the housing (12) into the center lumen (122) of the elongate tubular member (124). The electrical coupling component (110) is located about the drive assembly (14). The electrical wire (24) extends from within the housing (12) into the elongate tubular member (124). The electrical wire (24) is wrapped about the electrical coupling component (110), which allows the elongate tubular member (124) to rotate about the longitudinal axis while allowing the electrical wire (24) to be fixed within the housing and the elongate tubular member (124).1/10 C14~3/10 112b 1*11 14 FIG. 2
