Abstract
Devices and systems for shielding electromagnetic interference, and methods of forming the same, are disclosed herein. In one example, an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield includes a housing to substantially enclose a memory module. When the housing and the memory module are coupled to a circuit board, the housing is to extend at least partially underneath the memory module. The housing may also be openable or at least partially removable.
Claims15
An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield, comprising:
- a housing to substantially enclose a memory module, wherein the housing and the memory module are to be coupled to a circuit board, wherein the housing is to extend at least partially underneath the memory module, and wherein the housing is openable or at least partially removable, and wherein the housing comprises:
- a top portion, wherein the top portion is to extend over the memory module, and wherein the top portion is openable or removable;
- a plurality of side walls;
- a bottom portion, wherein the bottom portion is to extend at least partially underneath the memory module;
- a flexible interface between the top portion and one of the side walls, wherein the flexible interface enables the top portion to open;
- and
- a plurality of corner side covers to cover openings at corners of side walls adjacent to the flexible interface;
- a plurality of EMI gaskets, wherein the EMI gaskets are interior to the corner side covers.
