Connector shielding devices are described herein. One connector shielding device includes a circuit board having a connector; and a plurality of spring fingers extending from a first surface of the circuit board, the plurality of spring fingers positioned around the connector of the circuit board, wherein each spring finger of the plurality of spring fingers is configured to deflect toward the first surface of the circuit board when the connector of the circuit board is connected with a connector of an additional circuit board.

Connector shielding in an electronic device

The description relates to lenses. One example can include a refraction element defining a lens axis and a registration element extending from an edge of the refraction element in a direction that is generally parallel to the lens axis.

Self-registering lenses

Connector shielding devices are described herein. One connector shielding device includes a circuit board having a connector that is connectable with a connector of an additional circuit board. The shielding device further includes a plurality of spring fingers connected to and extending from a first surface of the circuit board or a base support adjacent to the first surface of the circuit board. The plurality of spring fingers provides a perimeter around the connector of the circuit board. Additionally, each spring finger of the plurality of spring fingers is configured to deflect toward the first surface of the circuit board when the connector of the circuit board connects with the connector of the additional circuit board. Further, a Faraday cage is provided by the circuit board, the additional circuit board, and the plurality of spring fingers when the connector and the additional connector are connected.

Examples of the disclosure provide a camera module configured to shield an image sensor from an electromagnetic field. In some examples, the camera module includes a circuit board, an image sensor coupled to the circuit board, a housing coupled to the circuit board such that the housing shields the image sensor from an electromagnetic field, and a lens barrel coupled to the housing such that the lens barrel is moveable within a cavity defined by the housing. Examples of the disclosure enable an electromagnetic field to be blocked in a cost-effective and component-efficient manner.
