Shaped electrical conductor

A shaped electrical conductor comprising:

• a first sheet of metal having a first thickness;
• a first thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a first surface of the first sheet;
• a second thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a second surface of the first sheet, the second pattern being fully justified with the applied first pattern;
• wherein the first sheet is etched to remove metal not covered by the thermoplastic adhesive patterns so that no metal bridges remain between disconnected coated portions of the first sheet;
• a second sheet of metal having a second thickness;
• a third thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a first surface of the second sheet;
• a fourth thermoplastic adhesive pattern on a second surface of the second sheet, the fourth pattern being fully justified with the applied third pattern;
• wherein the second sheet is etched to remove metal not covered by the thermoplastic adhesive patterns so that no metal bridges remain between disconnected coated portions of the second sheet;
• a first contact region in the second adhesive pattern bonded to a second contact region in the third adhesive pattern;
• and
• wherein the first and second sheets are mated so that the first contact region is in electrical contact with the second contact region.
