Abstract
Flat electrical connecting cable with controlled electrical and thermal resistances. It comprises a flat insulating support, on which are installed connecting lines constituted by two superimposed layers. The first of them is constituted by a poor heat conducting material, such a manganin, while the second is discontinuous andis formed from a very good electric conducting material, such as copper. The segments on which the second layer is installed are thermally insulated an at uniform temperature. It is possible to vary the conductivity of the different layers by acting on the thickness and width thereof. This invention is applicable in industries such as cryogenics and space, as well as all applications functioning between a cold source and hot source, where it is wished to control the heat exchanges.
