Claim 0:
1. An electronic device, comprising:
a first circuit board;
a second circuit board;
a housing to house the first circuit board and the second circuit board;
an insulating adhesive layer formed on a surface of the housing;
a patterned electroconductive layer formed on the insulating adhesive layer to electrically connect the first circuit board and the second circuit board, wherein the patterned electroconductive layer comprises:
a patterned electroless plating layer formed on the insulating adhesive layer; and
a patterned electrolytic plating layer formed on the patterned electroless plating layer;

a first contact pad formed on the insulating adhesive layer and connected to a first end of the patterned electroconductive layer;
a second contact pad formed on the insulating adhesive layer and connected to a second end of the patterned electroconductive layer, wherein the first contact pad is electrically connected to the second contact pad using the patterned electroconductive layer;
a first surface contact connector having a first end connected to the first circuit board via a first spring and a second end physically engaged with the first contact pad; and
a second surface contact connector having a first end connected to the second circuit board via a second spring and a second end physically engaged with the second contact pad.
