Abstract
A housing design and method of providing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) by mitigating a slot antenna in a corner region of a housing, the corner profile including an electrically conductive insert that has a spring bias, such as a spring or coated plastic member, in a corner of the housing.
Claims20
A housing, comprising:
- a first sidewall;
- a profile having at least one recess extending there through, wherein a portion of the first sidewall extends into the recess;
- a second sidewall, wherein the first sidewall is adjacent to the second sidewall;
- and
- an insert in the recess and extending in a direction of the recess, a portion of the insert in contact with the profile and the portion of the first sidewall in the recess.
2 more elements
A housing, comprising:
- a base;
- a profile extending from the base and having a slot therein;
- a wall having an edge in the slot of the profile, wherein at least a portion of the wall is electrically conductive;
- and
- an insert having a spring bias in the slot adjacent to the wall, the insert pressing the wall to abut the profile, wherein at least a portion of the profile is electrically conductive.
2 more elements
A method of dissipating EMI in a housing having a first sidewall and a second sidewall, comprising:
- providing a profile;
- sliding the first sidewall into a first slot in the profile;
- sliding the second sidewall into a second slot in the profile;
- and
- providing an insert having a spring bias, the insert in one of the first slot and second slots of the profile to abut at least a portion of one of the first sidewall and second sidewall and an inner surface of the one of the first slot and the second slot to apply a spring force to the one of the first and second sidewalls to press the one of the first sidewall and second sidewall to abut the profile.
