Abstract

A printed circuit board is provided wherein a composite metal layer is affixed to at least one surface of a flexible dielectric substrate, the composite metal layer comprising an inner aluminum layer and an outer copper layer. Owing to the relatively high elongation of the aluminum layer, when the printed circuit board is flexed the circuit thereon does not crack.
