发明名称 Electrical gasket and electronic module having electrical gasket
摘要 An electrical gasket provides an electrical seal between first and second components in an electrical module. The electrical gasket includes an attachment portion for fixedly attaching the electrical gasket to one of the first and second components and a plurality of spring members for engaging the other of the first and second components to make mechanical and electrical contact between the first and second components such that the electrical seal is provided between the first and second electrical components. One of the components of the module can be an EMI shield or printed circuit board of the module, and another of the components can be the module housing.

主权项 1. An electrical module, comprising: a first component of the electrical module, the first component comprising a plurality of side walls extending vertically and defining a three-dimensional region enclosed within the vertical side walls, the three-dimensional region having an open top end and a closed bottom end under the open top end; a second component of the electrical module, the second component of the electrical module comprising a body portion and a plurality of integral spring members integral with the body portion, the integral spring members being adapted to engage the first component when the first and second components are assembled together to make mechanical and electrical contact between the first and second components such that an electrical seal is provided between the first and second electrical components, wherein each of the integral spring members comprises a first end and a second end, the second end of each integral spring member being fixed to the body portion of the second component and being stationary with respect to the body portion of the second component, and the first end of each integral spring member being displaceable horizontally with respect to the body portion of the second component such that horizontal spring forces in the integral spring members exerted on the first ends of the integral spring members maintain engagement between the integral spring members and the vertical side walls of the first component when the first and second components are assembled together, the first ends of the integral spring members being disposed above the second ends of the integral spring members in the three-dimensional region of the first component; and a printed circuit board within the three-dimensional region enclosed within the vertical side walls of the first component, the second component being disposed above the PCB and contacting the PCB such that the plurality of integral spring members connect the PCB to the first component.
