Electro-optic window assembly emi shield

A window mounting assembly comprising:

• a bezel defining an inner opening and including an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall includes a channel;
• an electrochromic element disposed in the opening and configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall;
• and
• an electrically conductive member operably coupled to the bezel and extending from the inner wall to the outer wall.

A method for making an aircraft window foam mounting assembly comprising:

• forming an exterior pressure pane frame including an inner surface and an outer surface;
• abutting a pressure pane with the inner surface of the exterior pressure pane frame;
• positioning a foam bezel proximate a periphery of the pressure pane, the foam bezel defining an inner opening and including an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall includes a channel;
• inserting an electrochromic element into the channel of the inner wall;
• and
• coupling an electrically conductive member to the foam bezel that extends from the inner wall to the outer wall.

An aircraft window foam mounting assembly comprising:

• an exterior pressure pane frame including an inner surface and an outer surface;
• a pressure pane in abutting contact with the inner surface of the exterior pressure pane frame;
• a bezel proximate a periphery of the pressure pane and defining an inner opening, the bezel including an inner wall and an outer wall, wherein the inner wall includes a channel;
• an electrochromic element disposed in the opening and configured for reception in the channel of the inner wall;
• and
• a light limiting insert operably coupled to the bezel and extending from the inner wall to the outer wall, wherein the light limiting insert substantially decreases light infiltration through the bezel.
