Abstract

A laminate comprising metal layers separated by an etchant barrier to control depth of etching of the laminate, the barrier being etchable by an etchant which is not an etchant for the layers. A cable incorporating such a laminate and having relatively flexible conductors integral with relatively rigid terminals. A method of making such a cable, using the laminate, by selectively etching the layers down to the barrier to form the conductors and terminals, stripping the barrier and laminating the conductor with an insulating material preferably extending over at least a portion of the terminals to reinforce the conductor terminal transition and a cable when made of such a method.
