Claim Text:
1. A shaped electrical conductor comprising: a first sheet of metal having a first thickness; a first thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a first surface of the first sheet; a second thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a second surface of the first sheet, the second pattern being fully justified with the applied first pattern; wherein the first sheet is etched to remove metal not covered by the thermoplastic adhesive patterns so that no metal bridges remain between disconnected coated portions of the first sheet; a second sheet of metal having a second thickness; a third thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a first surface of the second sheet; a fourth thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a second surface of the second sheet, the fourth pattern being fully justified with the applied third pattern; wherein the second sheet is etched to remove metal not covered by the thermoplastic adhesive patterns so that no metal bridges remain between disconnected coated portions of the second sheet; a first contact region in the second adhesive pattern bonded to a second contact region in the third adhesive pattern; and wherein the first and second sheets are mated so that the first contact region is in electrical contact with the second contact region.
