Abstract
A shield for reducing impedance of a shielding of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the shield including a metallic sheet having a first end and a second end where each of the first and second ends extends along and adjacent to a surface of a SCART connector socket. A shielding assembly and a method for shielding a SCART connector are also disclosed.
Claims20
A shield for reducing impedance of a shielding of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the shield comprising:
- a metallic sheet having a first end and a second end;
- and
- each of the first and second ends being configured to respectively extend along and adjacent to a respective first and second connector socket of the SCART connector when the metallic sheet is coupled to the SCART connector.
An assembly for reducing impedance of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the assembly comprised of:
- a metallic shield having a first end and a second end, said metallic shield having the first end positioned adjacent to a first surface of a SCART sidewall proximal to a plurality of SCART receiving sockets and a second end adjacent to a second surface of the SCART sidewall distal to the plurality of SCART receiving sockets;
- and
- a conductive chassis surrounding a particular piece of electronic equipment connected to the SCART sockets contacting a portion of the metallic shield adjacent to the second side of the SCART sidewall.
A shield for reducing impedance of a shielding of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the shield comprised of:
- a metallic sheet having a first end and a second end, said metallic sheet defining a channel between the first end and the second end, the channel having:
- a first side wall terminating at the first end;
- a second side wall terminating at the second end where said second end is angled approximately 90° from a plane defined by the second side wall;
- and
- a top wall substantially perpendicular to the respective first and second side walls connecting said respective first and second side walls.
An assembly for reducing impedance of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the assembly comprised of:
- a metallic shield having a first end and a second end, said metallic sheet defining a channel between the first end and the second end, the channel having a first side wall terminating at the first end, a second side wall terminating at the second end where said second end is angled approximately 90° from a plane defined by the second side wall, and a top wall connects said respective first and second side walls;
- the first side wall of the metallic shield is positioned adjacent to a first surface of a SCART sidewall proximal to a plurality of SCART receiving sockets and the second side wall of the metallic shield is adjacent to a second surface of the SCART sidewall distal to the plurality of SCART receiving sockets, said second side wall terminating at the second end where the second end is angled approximately 90° from a plane defined by the second side wall;
- and
- a conductive chassis surrounding a particular piece of electronic equipment is adjacent to the second sidewall of the metallic shield.
A method of reducing impedance of a SCART connector at high frequencies, the method comprised of:
- attaching a piece of metallic material to a portion of a SCART socket;
- contacting a first side of said piece of metallic material to a metallic shield surrounding a plurality of connecting pins associated with a SCART connector inserted into the SCART socket;
- and
- contacting a second side of said piece of metallic material to a conductive chassis surrounding a particular piece of electronic equipment connected to the SCART socket.
