Patent ID: 8717773

Claim:
A printed wiring board (PWB) defining a substantially planar area comprising: a first portion comprising a second PWB mounted to a first surface of the PWB, wherein the first surface comprises an external exposed surface of the PWB, wherein the second PWB comprises: a first conductive plate oriented substantially parallel to the planar area and extending from a first normal axis towards a second normal axis, wherein the first and second normal axes are oriented substantially perpendicular to the planar area; a second conductive plate oriented substantially parallel to the planar area and extending from the second normal axis towards the first normal axis, wherein the second conductive plate extends between an adjacent pair of the first conductive plates; a non-conductive material extending between the second conductive plate and the first conductive plate; and a first conductive via aligned substantially collinear with the first normal axis and in contact with at least one of the first conductive plate; and a second portion comprising one or more electronic components mounted to the first surface of the PWB.
