A connector ground for mounting on a circuit board is provided which includes an upper surface with a U-shaped slot defining a tab. The upper surface further includes an obliquely upwardly extending spring finger. When the spring finger is free of external contact, the tab is coplanar with the upper surface so that the tab does not contact a shielded connector which is mounted to the circuit board and straddled by the connector ground. However, when the spring finger contacts the face plate or similar structure of the enclosure after the circuit board has been installed, both the spring finger and the tab rotate so that the tab contacts the shielded connector.

Disclosed are devices for shielding one or more connection ports from electromagnetic interference emissions. In one embodiment, the device includes a conformal member having a proximal aperture, a distal aperture, and a channel extending therethrough. The distal aperture has a maximum cross-sectional dimension that is less than about one half of a cutoff wavelength, thereby forming a waveguide for attenuating EMI signals that have a wavelength greater than a predetermined cutoff wavelength. In another embodiment, the conformable member includes first conformable element and a second conformable element. The conformable elements, when mated, form a proximal aperture, a distal aperture, and a channel extending therethrough having substantially the dimensional characteristics described above.

An electromagnetic shield includes electrically conductive walls arranged to form a closed boundry. The walls include pins projecting from a lower edge to secure the shield on a printed circuit board and to provide a connection to a conducting layer in the printed circuit board and engagement prongs on the upper edge to engage a cover plate.

An electromagnetic shielding and environmental sealing device includes an elastomer strip that is attached to a metal strip. The metal strip includes a base member and a plurality of fingers that extend from one edge of the base member at an angle. The elastomer strip includes a base portion, an extension portion that is attached to one edge of the base portion and extends at an angle with respect to the base portion and a sealing portion that is attached to the opposite edge of the base portion. The base member of the metal strip has a plurality of cut-out areas positioned therein that define contact tabs. The contact tabs are capable of deflecting out of the plane defined by immediately adjoining areas of the base member when a force is applied to the device. In that way, proper electrical contact is maintained with respect to the device and the surface to which it is attached.

An electromagnetic shielding device for use along gaps between relatively movable surfaces of doors, access panels, drawers, and cabinets, etc. , includes an electrically conductive shielding strip formed of longitudinally arranged segments integrally connected by a carrier strip. Each segment is mounted on a corresponding segment of a mount track which is adapted to securely lock the shielding strip in place. The design of the electromagnetic shielding device of the present invention provides enhanced capabilities of electromagnetic shielding as well as improvements in structural rigidity and mechanical durability. The design also facilitates installation of shielding in confined areas and repair of damaged shielding.

An electromagnetic shielding device for use along gaps between relatively movable surfaces of doors, access panels, drawers, and cabinets, etc. , includes an electrically conductive shielding strip and a clamping element. The shielding device also includes a mechanism that secures the shielding strip to the clamping element when the shielding device is not mounted on a surface. When mounted on a surface, the shielding strip is held in position by the clamping element. The shielding strip is formed so as to avoid being exposed to excessive stress.
