Abstract
A circuit board assembly for association with an aircraft includes a circuit board and an electromagnetic interference component connected to the circuit board. The circuit board assembly may further include an enclosure having an electromagnetic signal permissive layer and an electromagnetic signal blocking layer. The electromagnetic signal permissive layer may include a housing that define a volume. The housing may enclose the electromagnetic interference component on the circuit board. The electromagnetic signal blocking layer defines a conductive barrier about the electromagnetic interference component.
Claims20
A circuit board assembly for association with an aircraft, the circuit board assembly comprising:
- a circuit board;
- an electromagnetic interference component connected to the circuit board;
- and
- an enclosure comprising an electromagnetic signal permissive layer and an electromagnetic signal blocking layer,
- wherein the electromagnetic signal permissive layer comprises a housing that defines a volume, the housing enclosing the electromagnetic interference component on the circuit board, and
- wherein the electromagnetic signal blocking layer defines a conductive barrier about the electromagnetic interference component.
A method comprising:
- providing an enclosure defining an open space, the enclosure comprising an electromagnetic signal permissive layer and an electromagnetic signal blocking layer;
- enclosing an electromagnetic interference component on a circuit board with the enclosure;
- coupling the enclosure to the circuit board to define a circuit board assembly;
- and
- attaching the circuit board assembly with a fuselage of an aircraft, the circuit board assembly defining an environmental barrier and a conductive barrier between the electromagnetic interference component and the fuselage.
