摘要

Embodiments described herein are directed towards a keypad stiffener and a method for manufacturing. The method may include forming a metal plate form. The metal plate form may include a metal grounding plate, at least one detachable island and at least one bridge. A bridge may mechanically connect the metal grounding plate to the detachable island. The method may also include forming a non-conductive molding mechanically coupling the metal grounding plate and the at least one detachable island and electrically disconnecting the detachable island from the metal grounding plate. Furthermore, subsequent to the electrically disconnecting, the at least one detachable island may be electrically floating with respect to the metal grounding plate.
