Integrated shield wrap
First Claim
1. An integrated shield wrap suitable for use in an electronic device including electronic circuitry, the integrated shield wrap comprising:
- (a) an insulator section substantially comprising an electrically insulative material, said insulator section having first and second opposing sides; and
(b) a shield section attached to either said first or second side of said insulator section and substantially comprising an electrically conductive material, the shield section being less than coextensive with said insulator section so that some portions of the integrated shield wrap comprise a double layer configuration while other portions of the integrated shield wrap comprise only a single layer configuration, and said shield section and insulator section being arranged so that when the integrated shield wrap is operably disposed with respect to the electronic circuitry, said shield section is interposed between the electronic circuitry and said insulator section.

Abstract
An integrated shield wrap suitable for use in an electronic device including electronic circuitry. The integrated shield wrap includes an insulator section composed of an electrically insulative material, as well as a shield section joined to the insulator section and composed of an electrically conductive material. The integrated shield wrap can be configured as necessary to suit a particular application and, in general, serves to electrically insulate the electronic circuitry from other circuitry and components within the electronic device while simultaneously implementing a shielding functionality that permits management of electromagnetic emissions from some or all of the electronic circuitry.
