Reinforcement components for electrical connections with limited accessibility Shield structures with reduced spacing between adjacent insulation components and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, a reinforcement component may be compressed between two portions of a first electronic component in order to deform the reinforcement component for filling in a void between the reinforcement component and a coupling formed between the first electronic component and a second electronic component. The first electronic component may be a flexible circuit component that may be folded over the reinforcement component prior to the reinforcement component being compressed. This may enable the reinforcement component to be effectively positioned with respect to the first electronic component prior to being deformed for reinforcing one or more couplings made between the first electronic component and the second electronic component.
A method for protecting at least one of a plurality of couplings, wherein the plurality of couplings comprises (1) a first coupling between a first flexible circuit contact of a first flexible circuit surface of a first flexible circuit portion and a first component contact of a first component surface of a component and (2) a second coupling between a second flexible circuit contact of a second flexible circuit surface of a second flexible circuit portion and a second component contact of a second component surface of the component, the method comprising:
A method for forming a system with at least one reinforced coupling, the method comprising:
An assembly comprising:
