Abstract: Reinforcement components for electrical connections with limited accessibility Shield structures with reduced spacing between adjacent insulation components and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, a reinforcement component may be compressed between two portions of a first electronic component in order to deform the reinforcement component for filling in a void between the reinforcement component and a coupling formed between the first electronic component and a second electronic component. The first electronic component may be a flexible circuit component that may be folded over the reinforcement component prior to the reinforcement component being compressed. This may enable the reinforcement component to be effectively positioned with respect to the first electronic component prior to being deformed for reinforcing one or more couplings made between the first electronic component and the second electronic component.
