Abstract
A structure is disclosed for connecting an electrically-connectable metal stiffener to a ground connection within a flexible substrate, the stiffener comprising nickel-gold plated stainless steel. In one embodiment the stiffener is secured to the flexible substrate by a non-conducting adhesive which includes an opening over a ground connection, the adhesive opening being filled by a conductive epoxy. A sequence for applying the disclosed materials discloses a method for attaching the stiffening structure to the flexible substrate.
