Abstract:
A multi-layer printed circuit, comprising:a) an inner core formed from one or more printed circuit laminates, said printed circuit laminates comprised of a core substrate having a first surface with a strip conductor disposed thereon,b) at least one surface component attached to said inner core, said surface component, comprised of:a film substrate formed of a first polymeric material;at least one layer of copper on a first side of said film substrate; anda discrete area of a resistive material disposed on a second side of said film substrate, said surface component attached to said inner core with said discrete area of resistive material embedded within said multi-layer printed circuit between said core and said film substrate,c) a first through hole connecting one end of said discrete area to a first circuit trace line of said multi-layer printed circuit; andd) a second through hole connecting another end of said discrete area to a second trace line of said multi layer printed circuit.
