RETENTION MECHANISM FOR SHIELDED FLEX CABLE TO IMPROVE EMI/RFI FOR HIGH SPEED SIGNALING

摘要

A retention apparatus for a shielded cable is described. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a substrate having a ground; a connector coupled to the substrate; a cable shielded with a conductive material and having an end connectable to the connector to electrically connect with the connector; an electrically conductive material coupled to the ground of the substrate; and a grounding retention mechanism to cause the electrically conductive material to electrically connect the cable to the ground of the substrate by applying a force to the cable shield.
