Patent ID: 7611358

Claim:
A method comprising: engaging a slide connector with a first receptacle, said slide connector adapted to electrically couple a first circuit board to a second circuit board, said first circuit board comprising said first receptacle, said second circuit board comprising a second receptacle, said slide connector adapted to be slideably releaseably coupled to each of said first receptacle and said second receptacle, said slide connector comprising an electrically conductive liner supported by, and biasedly coupled to, an electrically insulating substrate, said electrically conductive liner adapted to be electrically coupled to an electrically conductive shield of at least one of said first receptacle and said second receptacle via electrically conductive tabs, when coupled to said first receptacle and said second receptacle, said electrically conductive liner having at least three surfaces disposed substantially along three inner sides of a substantially rectangular cross section of a junction of said slide connector and said first receptacle and adapted to shield metallic extensions of said slide connector from electromagnetic interference, said slide connector comprising a stop surface, said stop surface adapted to restrain motion of said slide connector relative to said first circuit board or said second circuit board in a direction of sliding, said slide connector adapted to be moved in said direction of sliding to operatively couple said slide connector to said second receptacle.
