Faraday cage

A Faraday cage comprising:

• a printed wiring board having an electrical ground;
• at least one electronic component electrically connected to the printed wiring board;
• a conductive housing;
• and
• an electrically conductive adhesive having a substrate having numerous passageways through the substrate, the passageways being defined by a plurality of walls, said walls being covered with a layer of conductive metal, said passageways being at least partially filled with a non-conductive adhesive resin;
• wherein the electrically conductive adhesive mounts the conductive housing to the electrical ground of the printed wiring board, over the at least one electronic component, to shield electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

An article comprising:

• a conductive housing having at least one open end;
• and
• an electrically conductive adhesive disposed on a surface of the conductive housing about the open end, said electrically conductive adhesive having a substrate having numerous passageways through the substrate, the passageways being defined by a plurality of walls, said walls having disposed thereon a layer of conductive metal, said passageways being at least partially filled with a non-conductive adhesive resin;
• wherein said conductive housing is conformably dimensioned to receive an electronic component through said open end.
