Patent ID: 6900383

Claim:
A printed circuit board comprising: a printed wiring board; a plurality of components mounted on said printed wiring board; an electrically continuous EMI shield conformingly adhering to surfaces of one or more regions of the top and bottom of the printed circuit board to shield the one or more regions from electromagnetic interference, comprising, a conductive coating preventing electromagnetic waves from passing therethrough, said conductive coating conformingly adhered to the surface of the shielded printed circuit board region, and a dielectric coating interposed between said conductive coating and predetermined portions of each of the one or more shielded printed circuit board regions, wherein said dielectric coating is conformingly adhered to and insulates said predetermined portions of the one or more printed circuit board regions: and at least one electrically conductive spring clip spaced around said printed wiring board to be electrically coupled said conductive coatings of a region on the top of the board with a region on the bottom of the printed circuit board, whereby said conductive and dielectric coatings do not change substantially dimensions of said printed circuit board in said one or more printed circuit board regions to which said conformal EMI shield is applied.
