Eyewear with RF shielding having grounding springs

A method of using an electronic eyewear device, the electronic eyewear device having a ground plate, a printed circuit board (PCB) having electronic components;

• a head-mounted frame supporting the ground plate and the PCB, a shield can extending between the ground plate and the PCB, the shield can having a side wall extending between the ground plate and the PCB, and a leaf spring coupled to the side wall and engaging the ground plate, wherein the leaf spring has protrusions engaging the ground plate, wherein the leaf spring has a spring arm that couples the leaf spring to the side wall and extends laterally from the side wall, the spring arm configured to create a bias force of the protrusions against the ground plate, the method comprising:
• grounding the shield can to the ground plate, the shield can encompassing the electronic components;
• and
• reducing an emanation of RF signals from the electronic eyewear device with the shield can, the RF signals generated by the electronic components from within the shield can.

A method of coupling a shield can between a printed circuit board (PCB) having electronic components and a ground plate, the shield can having a side wall and a leaf spring extending from the side wall between the PCB and the ground plate, comprising:

• coupling the shield can to the PCB such that the shield can encompasses the electronic components;
• coupling the shield can to the ground plate such that the leaf spring is biased against the ground plate;
• and
• disposing a conductive pressure sensitive adhesive (CPSA) between the shield can and the ground plate.
