Flexible electrical jumper and method of making same

Abstract From the Canadian patent

In a method for making a flexible electrical jumper an elongated flat strip of electrically conductive material is die-cut to form a plurality of electrical leads interconnected by a carrier strip which extends along the longitudinal axis of the strip of conductive material. Each lead includes a central, flexible flat portion, and opposed contoured ends which are formed into generally U-shaped cross-sections. Sheets of insulative plastic material are laminated to the opposite sides of tbe central flat portion of the strip to embed the leads therein, with the contoured ends being exposed. The carrier strip is removed and the insulating material is cut at the desired locations, depending on …
