Electrical components, e.g., radiators, are made by a method comprising the steps of (1) providing a substrate, e.g., a polymeric film, having a first facial side that has a metal coating, e.g., copper, and a second facial side that does not have a metal coating; (2) applying an etchresist to the metal coating to define a trace; (3) etching from the substrate the metal coating not covered by the etch-resist; (4) removing the etch-resist from the metal coating; and (5) plating, e.g., electroless plating, the uncovered metal coating with a plating material comprising at least one of silver, gold, and nickel. |
