SHIELDED MICROELECTRONIC CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING

摘要

An advanced multi-connector electronic assembly (300) incorporating a variety of different noise shield elements (307) which reduce noise interference and increase performance. In the preferred embodiment, the connector assembly (300) comprises a plurality of connectors (232) with associated electronic components arranged in two parallel rows, one disposed atop the other such that modular plug recesses of all connectors are accessible by the user. The assembly (30) utilizes a substrate shield (260) which mitigates noise transmission through the bottom surface of the assembly (300), as well as an external wrap-around shield (272) to mitigate noise transmission through the remaining external surfaces. A method of manufacturing the aforementioned assembly is also disclosed.
