Abstract
Disclosed is an electromagnetic interference (EMI) cover for a gas detector including one or more electrical components. The EMI cover includes one or more cover layers, each cover layer including a plastic material layer and one or more layers of conductive or dielectric ink applied to the plastic material layer defining one or more conductive pathways. The one or more conductive pathways are positioned in a pattern to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to the one or more electrical component.

An electromagnetic interference (EMI) cover for a gas detector comprising one or more electrical component, the EMI cover comprising:
- one or more cover layers, each cover layer including:
- a plastic material layer;
- and
- one or more layers of conductive or dielectric ink applied to the plastic material layer defining one or more conductive pathways;
- wherein the one or more conductive pathways are disposed in a pattern to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to the one or more electrical component;
- wherein the one or more cover layers comprise a first cover layer and a second cover layer arranged in a stack;
- and
- wherein a first plastic material layer of the first cover layer is disposed between a first electrically conductive ink layer of the first cover layer and a second electrically conductive ink layer of the second cover layer.
A method of forming an electromagnetic interference (EMI) cover for a gas detector comprising one or more electrical component, the method comprising:
- forming a plastic material layer;
- applying an electrically conductive ink layer to the plastic material layer forming one or more electrically conductive pathways, thereby defining one or more cover layers;
- and
- forming the one or more cover layers into a desired cover shape;
- wherein the one or more conductive pathways are disposed in a pattern to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to the one or more electrical component;
- wherein the one or more cover layers comprise a first cover layer and a second cover layer arranged in a stack;
- and
- wherein a first plastic material layer of the first cover layer is disposed between a first electrically conductive ink layer of the first cover layer and a second electrically conductive ink layer of the second cover layer.
