APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SHIELDING A CIRCUIT FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

摘要

A housing (10) for shielding a circuit (12) from electromagnetic interference comprises at least one electrically conductive connector pin (50) having a central portion, a first end portion (62) and a second end portion (66). The housing (10) also comprises an insulator (70). The central portion of the connector pin (50) is disposed within the insulator (70). The first end portion (62) and the second end portion (66) of the connector pin (50) extend outward from the insulator (70). The housing (10) includes a housing body (20) made from an electrically conductive moldable plastic material (22). The housing body (20) is molded over at least a portion of the insulator (70) to secure the insulator and thereby the connector pin (50) in the housing (10).
