Abstract
Enclosures and gasket assemblies for reducing EMI for computer systems and other electronic devices are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment a gasket assembly for reducing EMI may comprise a soft core sizable to extend along at least the length of an opening in an EMI housing. The gasket assembly may also comprise a plurality of fingers positionable at spaced-apart positions along the entire length of the opening in the EMI housing, the plurality of fingers maintaining conductivity between mating surfaces of the EMI housing.
Claims20
A gasket assembly for reducing EMI, comprising:
- a soft core configured to extend along an entire length of an opening in an EMI housing;
- and
- a plurality of fingers positionable at spaced-apart positions along at least the length of the opening in the EMI housing, the plurality of fingers maintaining conductivity between mating surfaces of the EMI housing.
A system for reducing EMI, comprising:
- an enclosure with at least one opening for EMI formed between mating conductive surfaces;
- and
- a gasket assembly provided between the mating conductive surfaces of the enclosure, the gasket assembly including a soft core for sealing the at least one opening, and the gasket assembly including a plurality of spaced-apart fingers for maintaining conductivity between the mating conductive surfaces.
A system comprising:
- enclosure means for at least partially enclosing a source of EMI in an electronic device;
- means for sealing mating surfaces between the enclosure means;
- and
- a plurality of spaced-apart fingers means for maintaining conductivity between the mating conductive surfaces.
