Abstract
A method of manufacturing a flat, composite ('pancake') slip ring is described. An assembly of slip rings of conductive material are formed by photo etching or the like into a plurality of annular, concentric conductive rings, the inner and outer diameters of the rings being connected by alignment tabs. A surface of the rings may be masked prior to plating a precious metal on the opposing surface. The slip ring assembly is aligned with the base and bonded to it prior to removing the alignment tabs.
