  • Patent number: 5177324
    Abstract: A printed circuit board providing RF shielding. An electrically insulating material serves as a substrate (10) with two opposed sides. At least one side of the substrate (10) has an electrically conductive layer (12) formed in a pattern that defines a printed circuit. An insulating dielectric layer (14) covers at least a portion of the printed circuitry, leaving at least one portion (16) of the circuitry exposed. A radio frequency (RF) shielding layer (18) is formed by depositing an electrically conductive polymer on at least a portion of the insulating dielectric layer. The RF shielding layer (18) also lies over a portion of the exposed electrical circuitry (16), providing electrical connection to the electrically conductive layer (12). The RF shielding layer (18) is formed from a silverfilled polymer thick film ink and is applied by screen printing, stencilling, roller coating, spraying, or other equivalent methods.
