Method for providing electromagnetic shielding of an electrical circuit

A method for providing electromagnetic shielding of an electrical circuit that is disposed on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:

• a) providing at least one compressible, electrically conductive, essentially Z-shaped contact that includes a substantially planar first portion;
• b) conductively affixing, substantially simultaneously with the disposition of the electrical circuit on the substrate, the substantially planar first portion of the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact to at least one receptacle area on the substrate that substantially encircles the electrical circuit;
• and
• c) positioning a shielding enclosure that includes a top portion and a plurality of side portions upon the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact such that the plurality of side portions compress removably against the at least one compressible, electrically conductive essentially Z-shaped contact to substantially enclose the electrical circuit.
