Method of fabricating a current control device

A method of fabricating a current control device comprising the steps of:

• (a) mixing a non-conductive matrix and a conductive filler, said non-conductive matrix being compressible, said conductive filler being incompressible;
• (b) hardening said non-conductive matrix about said conductive filler to form a solid composite, said conductive filler electrically isolated therein;
• (c) heating said solid composite without melting said solid composite to form a plurality of pores within said non-conductive matrix after said non-conductive matrix is hardened, said heating step forming said pores via localized hrating and gas formation within said non-conductive matrix;
• (d) suffusing said solid composite with pores within a bath to allow an inorganic oil to completely infiltrate said solid composite with pores;and
• (e) attaching a pair of conductive platrs to said porous solid composite.

The method of fabricating a current control device comprising the steps of:

• (a) mixing a non-conductive matrix, a conductive filler, and a plurality of non-conductive microspheres comprised of a low-density, high-temperature foam, said non-conductive matrix and said non-conductive microspheres being compressible, said conductive filler being incompressible;
• (b) hardening said non-conductive matrix about said conductive filler and said non-conductive microspheres to form a solid composite, said filler electrically isolated within said non-conductive matrix;
• (c) suffusing said solid composite within a bath to allow an inorganic oil to completely infiltrate said solid composite;
• and
• (d) attaching a pair of conductive plates to said solid composite.
