Abstract
A system and method for shielding electromagnetic radiation includes an apparatus for shielding electromagnetic radiation. The apparatus includes a conductive surface comprised of electrically-conductive plastic. The apparatus further includes a flexible element comprised of electrically-conductive plastic extending from the conductive surface. The element is operable to contact an adjacent surface abutting the flexible element and form a conductive connection with the adjacent surface. When assembled with other components in a housing, the electrically-conductive surface and the flexible element may form a portion of a Faraday shield.
