Integrated EMI Shield Termination and Cable Support Apparatus

摘要

An Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI) shield termination and support apparatus for a cable to be terminated at a printed wiring board (PWB) comprises a metal shield conductively attached to an EMI shield metallized area on a portion of the PWB. In a preferred embodiment, the shield comprises an EMI shield cap having a cable opening for receiving the cable to be terminated and a strain-relief feature to assist in providing strain relief to the cable soldered to the PWB. The combination of the shield and the metallized area provide EMI shielding to an end of the cable to be terminated. One cable or multiple cables may be terminated in accordance with described embodiments.
