System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to using a printed conductor and a rectifier in the same enclosure for transferring power. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a conductor, printed on a substrate housed in an enclosure, that generates alternating current caused by a magnetic field emitted by a transmitter, wherein the conductor is a trace spanning layers. The apparatus also includes a rectifier, on a device housed in the enclosure, that receives the alternating current through a terminal connected with the conductor and converts the alternating current to a direct current for powering a load, wherein an insulator between the conductor and the rectifier isolates the magnetic field.
