Abstract: A flexible circuit having termination features incorporated as an integral part thereof and a method of making the same is presented. In accordance with the manufacturing process of the present invention, the end portion of a flexible circuit of standard construction (i.e., conductive traces sandwiched between a flexible base substrate and a flexible cover film) is folded back on itself, frequently with a spacer captured in the fold, and adhesively laminated together. This laminated assembly has a thickness equal to that required for formation of reliable connector pins. Next, a small section of this folded end portion has at least the outer non-conductive cover film removed, preferably by laser techniques, to expose a plurality of connector pins or fingers. The connector fingers will have the desired thickness, width and shape to allow for direct insertion into a mating component (i.e., through-holes on a rigid or flexible circuit board; or into a receptacle such as a female connector).
