Abstract
An apparatus is described herein. The apparatus includes a receptacle to receive a plug to couple a peripheral device to a computing device. The apparatus includes a ground contact of a printed circuit board of the computing device. The apparatus includes a shield communicatively coupled to the ground contact, wherein the shield is to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) from an interface between the plug and the receptacle.
Claims21
An apparatus to couple a peripheral device to a computing device, comprising;
- a receptacle to receive a plug to couple the peripheral device to the computing device;
- a ground contact of a circuit board of the computing device;
- and
- a shield communicatively coupled to the ground contact, wherein the shield is disposed near the back of the receptacle and the shield is to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) from an interface between the plug and the receptacle.
An input/output (I/O) interface to couple a peripheral device to a computing device, comprising:
- a receptacle of the I/O interface, wherein the receptacle is to receive a plug;
- a ground contact of a circuit board;
- and
- a shield directly coupled to the ground contact, wherein the shield is to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) from the I/O interface.
An input/output (I/O) interface to couple a peripheral device to a computing device, comprising:
- a receptacle of the I/O interface, wherein the receptacle is to receive a plug;
- a ground contact of a circuit board;
- a back shield directly coupled to the ground contact, wherein the back shield is disposed near the back of the receptacle, and wherein the back shield is to reduce radio frequency interference (RFI) from the I/O interface;
- and
- a side shield disposed at an interface of a side of the plug and a side of the receptacle.
