Abstract
Flexible wire cable and the flexible wire cable by the steps of the process for manufacturing the flexible wire cable. The flexible wire cable interconnects between two spaced plurality of terminals. The terminals can be equally centered at opposing ends or can be spaced on different centers at opposing ends. A plurality of wire conductors are laminated between two sheets of insulation, each sheet having a thermosetting polyester adhesive coating, which partially and fully cures as a function of time-temperature-pressure. Each of the plurality of wire conductors are substantially surrounded internally one hundred and eighty degrees by each sheet of the insulation. The insulation is offset to provide an overlap at opposing ends or at only one end to provide a solder stop and controlled flexings of the wire conductors. In another embodiment, at least one metallic shield is laminated to one side of the insulation sheet with like thermosetting polyester adhesive coating on the metallic sheet which cures as a function of time-temperature-pressure. A drain wire extends the length of the metallic shield and is tinned so that it is subsequently conductively bonded to the metallic shield.
