EMI containment transceiver module with floating PCB

An optical transceiver module, comprising:

• an optical transmitter;
• an optical receiver;
• a housing including electrically conductive top and bottom housing portions in substantial contact with each other and cooperating with each other to define an opening, and the housing substantially enclosing the optical transmitter and the optical receiver;
• and
• a printed circuit board (“PCB”) substantially disposed within the housing and being in communication with the optical transmitter and the optical receiver, and the PCB defining at least one non-conductive through opening configured and arranged so that the housing portions contact each other by way of the at least one non-conductive through opening.

An electronic module, comprising:

• a housing including electrically conductive top and bottom housing portions in substantial contact with each other and cooperating with each other to define an opening;
• a printed circuit board (“PCB”) substantially disposed within the housing and including an edge connector that extends at least partially through the opening in the housing and that includes a plurality of high speed traces, and the PCB defining at least two non-conductive through openings configured and arranged so that the housing portions contact each other by way of the at least two non-conductive through openings and subdivide the opening defined by the housing into at least two relatively smaller openings;
• and
• at least one fastener joining the top and bottom housing portions together, the at least one fastener passing through a non-conductive opening defined by the PCB.

An optical transceiver module, comprising:

• an optical transmitter;
• an optical receiver;
• a housing including electrically conductive top and bottom housing portions in substantial contact with each other and cooperating with each other to define an opening, one of the housing portions including a pair of posts and another of the housing portions including a pair of plates, and the housing substantially enclosing the optical transmitter and the optical receiver;
• a printed circuit board (“PCB”) substantially disposed within the housing and in communication with the optical transmitter and the optical receiver, the PCB including an edge connector that extends at least partially through the opening in the housing, and the PCB defining at least two non-conductive through openings configured and arranged so that each post of one housing portion extends through a respective non-conductive through opening and contacts a respective plate of the other housing portion.
