Patent attributes
Electronic assembly includes a printed circuit having a plurality of thru-holes. The electronic assembly also includes a conductive shield having a plurality of sidewalls. The sidewalls define a cavity. Edges of at least some of the sidewalls interface with the printed circuit along a perimeter line. The perimeter line intersects the thru-holes or extends immediately adjacent to the thru-holes. The electronic assembly also includes a plurality of grounding contacts that are each discrete with respect to the conductive shield. Each of the grounding contacts of said plurality includes a pin segment and a wall-engaging segment. The pin segments include compliant pins that are insertable into the thru-holes. The wall-engaging segments are connected to respective sidewalls. The grounding contacts are distributed along the perimeter line and electrically couple the conductive shield to the ground conductor of the printed circuit.
