Abstract
A method of supporting an electrical circuit on an electrically insulative base substrate comprises embossing a first circuit pattern on the substrate, and plating or etching a second circuit pattern over the first circuit pattern such that the first and second circuit patterns are in physical contact with each other for electrical communication therebetween. Plated through-holes are provided for facilitating support of a twisted pair of electrical conductors on a base substrate.

A method of supporting an electrical circuit on an electrically insulative base substrate having opposing surfaces, comprising:
- embossing a first circuit pattern on one surface of the substrate;
- and
- plating a second circuit pattern over the first circuit pattern on the one surface such that said first and second circuit patterns are in physical contact with each other for electrical communication therebetween.
A method of supporting an electrical circuit on an electrically insulative base substrate having opposing sides, comprising:
- embossing a first circuit pattern on one surface of the base substrate;
- and
- etching a second circuit pattern over the first circuit pattern on the one surface such that said first and second circuit patterns are in physical contact with each other at at least one location for electrical communication therebetween.
