Abstract
An EMI shield for ports providing access to expansion cards received in the chassis of an electronic device comprises a gasket suitable for being disposed between the chassis and the expansion card bracket. The gasket includes an aperture overlying each of the ports and a plurality of generally flattened U shape fingers formed in the gasket adjacent to each aperture for engaging the bracket to provide EMI grounding between the bracket and the chassis.

An EMI shield for a port providing access to an expansion card received in the chassis of an electronic device, comprising:
- a gasket suitable for being disposed between the chassis and a bracket of the expansion card, the gasket including an aperture overlying the port;
- and
- a plurality of fingers formed in the gasket adjacent to the aperture for engaging the bracket to provide EMI grounding between the bracket and the chassis,
- wherein each of the fingers has a generally flattened U shape suitable for reducing binding between the gasket and the bracket.
An EMI shield for an electronic device having a plurality of ports suitable for providing access to expansion cards received in the chassis of an electronic device, comprising:
- a gasket suitable for being disposed between the chassis and brackets of expansion cards received in the chassis, the gasket including a plurality of apertures, each aperture overlying a port;
- and
- a plurality of fingers formed in the gasket adjacent to each aperture for engaging the brackets to provide EMI grounding between the brackets and the chassis,
- wherein each of the fingers has a generally flattened U shape suitable for reducing binding between the gasket and the brackets.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a chassis including a port for providing access to an expansion card received in the chassis;
- an EMI shield for the port, the EMI shield further comprising:
- a gasket suitable for being disposed between the chassis and a bracket of the expansion card, the gasket including an aperture overlying the port;
- and
- a plurality of fingers formed in the gasket adjacent to the aperture for engaging the bracket to provide EMI grounding between the bracket and the chassis,
- wherein each of the fingers has a generally flattened U shape suitable for reducing binding between the gasket and the bracket.
An EMI shield for a port providing access to an expansion card received in the chassis of an electronic device, comprising:
- a gasket for being disposed between the chassis and a bracket of the expansion card, the gasket including an aperture for overlying the port;
- a plurality of tabs formed in the gasket;
- and
- a plurality of fingers formed in the gasket adjacent to the aperture for engaging the bracket to provide EMI grounding between the bracket and the chassis,
- wherein each of the fingers has a generally flattened U shape for reducing binding between the gasket and the bracket.
