Method for providing electromagnetic shielding of an electrical circuit
First Claim
1. A method for providing electromagnetic shielding of an electrical circuit that is disposed on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) providing at least one compressible, electrically conductive, essentially Z-shaped contact that includes a substantially planar first portion;
b) conductively affixing, substantially simultaneously with the disposition of the electrical circuit on the substrate, the substantially planar first portion of the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact to at least one receptacle area on the substrate that substantially encircles the electrical circuit; and
c) positioning a shielding enclosure that includes a top portion and a plurality of side portions upon the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact such that the plurality of side portions compress removably against the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact to substantially enclose the electrical circuit.

Abstract
An electrical circuit (101) that is disposed on a substrate (103) employs a method and apparatus for providing electromagnetic shielding of the electrical circuit (101). One or more compressible, electrically conductive contacts (107), each of which includes a substantially planar portion (201), are coupled at their respective planar portions (201) to a receptacle area (105) on the substrate (103) that substantially encircles the electrical circuit (101). A shielding enclosure (109) having a top portion (110) and a plurality of side portions (111) is positioned upon the compressible, electrically conductive contacts (107) such that the side portions (111) compress at least some of the compressible, electrically conductive contacts (107) to substantially enclose the electrical circuit (101).
