    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) assembly including an FPC, an electrical connector mounted on a first surface of the FPC and configured to transfer data and power signals, and a shield can mounted on a second surface of the FPC. The electrical connector can be a USB-C connector. The second surface of the FPC can be opposite the first surface of the FPC. The shield can can surround an area on the second surface of the FPC that overlaps an area of the first surface of the FPC on which the electrical connector is mounted. Electromagnetic discharge (ESD) protection components can be mounted on the FPC within the shield can. The shield can can be configured as a strain-relief to stiffen the FPC, and can electromagnetically shield the ESD protection components.
