Abstract: A laminate (50) comprising metal layers (56 and 58) separated by an etchant barrier (51) to control depth of etching of the laminate, the barrier being etchable by an etchant which is not an etchant for the layers. A cable (20) incorporating such a laminate and having relatively flexible conductors (22) integral with relatively rigid terminals. A method of making such a cable, using the laminate, by selectively etching the layers down to the barrier to form the conductors and terminals (26 and 28), stripping the barrier and laminating the conductors with an insulating material (42 and 44) preferably extending over at least a portion of the terminals to reinforce the conductor terminal transition and a cable when made of such a method.
