Abstract
A shielded circuit assembly includes first and second circuit support structure, e.g. circuit boards having electrical or electronic components thereon, flexible connection between the circuit support structures, e.g., a flexible printed circuit (FPC), flat flexible cable (FFC), or other connection, the first and second circuit support structures adapted for positioning in generally overlying spaced apart relation with the flexible connection providing electrical connection therebetween while having floor plans that tend to efficiently conserve space between the circuit support structures, and electromagnetic energy shielding adapted to provide shielding of space between the circuit support structures in such generally overlying spaced apart relation. A method of making a shielded circuit assembly includes folding one printed circuit board that is flexibly attached to another printed circuit board to a generally parallel spaced apart relation and providing shielding of space between the circuit boards.
