Resilient Adherent EMI Shielding Member

Abstract

In order to prevent EMI leakage from various openings formed in module-receiving receptacles, a flexible, conductive shield member is provided. The shield member may have multiple layers but includes at least a conductive layer and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer permits the shield member to be applied to an exterior surface of the receptacle and the shield member is further configured and dimensioned such that it fits entirely over the opening with a sufficient marginal extent to remain in place on the receptacle and provide its EMI barrier function effectively. communicating with the interior portion, and the bottom is configured to be joined to a circuit board. An EMI shield member is provided along the bottom of the cage and extends completely around the bottom opening to be held between the cage and a circuit board. The EMI shield member forms a shielded interface completely around the perimeter of the bottom opening.
