Abstract
A flexible shielded connector is made by depositing a cover shield layer onto a base shield layer so as to provide direct mechanical and electrical contact along the side edge seams of the two shield layers. A metallic base shield layer is applied to a flexible substrate and a base layer of insulating material is applied on top of an interior area of the base shield layer. Side edge areas of the base shield layer on each side of the interior area are left exposed. At least one conductor is applied over the base insulating layer and a cover layer of insulating material is applied over the conductor, also leaving the side edge areas of the top of the base shield layer on each side of the interior area exposed. A metallic cover shield layer is then deposited over the cover layer of insulating material and extends over the side edge areas of the top of the base shield layer so as to envelope the base and cover layers of insulating material and the conductor by the base and cover shield layers. One or more channels in which the base and cover shield layers are in contact may also be provided between the conductors.
