A multiple layer metallic laminate having more desirable electrical properties as compared to known embodiments includes multiple layers of metallic sheets clad together. The multiple layer laminate composite includes at least a first metallic layer having good soldering properties, such as commercially available nickel or nickel alloys, a second metallic layer having good resistance welding properties, such as commercial available steels or stainless steels, a third metallic layer having low electrical resistivity properties, such as commercially available copper and copper alloys, a fourth metallic layer have good resistance welding properties, such as commercially available steels or stainless steels, and a fifth metallic layer having good soldering properties, such as commercially available nickel or nickel alloys.
