Abstract:
1. A laminar electrical connector comprising: a plurality of superimposed strips of a first conductive material having a first material melting temperature and forming a stack having at least two ends, each of the at least two ends adapted to engage electrical terminal; and a second conductive material joining two adjacent strips of said plurality of superimposed strips with a proviso that the at least two ends are not covered by a sheath or has a grommet therethrough, said second conductive material having a second conductive material melting temperature less than the first conductive material melting temperature positioned between adjacent strips of said plurality of superimposed strips, said second conductive material and said two adjacent strips of said plurality of superimposed strips have been heated to a temperature greater than two thirds of the second material melting temperature and less than the first material melting temperature to increase electrical conductivity and delamination strength in a direction transverse to said stack.
