Fingers Add Shielding on High-Density Connector |
.....A
mainframe OEM was experiencing radiated EMI problems at the interface
of a high-density, cable connector and an input/output (I/O) panel.
360-degree shielding was needed around the pin area. The shielding
design had to accommodate changing deflection forces as the connector
was flexed or jostled.
.....Chomerics
designed a metal spring finger shielding solution using finite element
analysis and 3-D models to find the optimum gasket shape, thickness,
compression force and deflection dynamics to meet attachment and plug-in
requirements.

The
gasket shape included an integral clip for secure mounting along the
front edges of the connector's die-cast back shell. Strips of the
gasket ran across the perimeter of the connector and made tight, continuous
contact with the I/O panel to provide a Faraday cage-type EMI shielding
solution.
