An assembly for mounting electronic components includes a face plate comprising a thermoplastic material. The face plate includes a retaining element for securing a captive screw and spring assembly for mounting an electronic printed circuit board. The retaining element includes one or more slots adapted to expand the element to permit insertion of the screw and deformation of the hole upon insertion of the screw, while locking the screw to retain the screw in place. This arrangement permits the elimination of the metal standoff frequently used in similar devices. Methods for preparing the assembly and mounting the printed circuit boards are also described.

An EMI shielding material is provided for making EMI shielding gaskets, coating and other articles. The EMI shielding material includes a non-conductive polymer, an inherently conductive polymer and a conductive metal powder. These components are intimately combined to prepare EMI shielding materials having superior electrical and mechanical performance when used in applications such as housings for electronic components.

Composite polymeric material for EMI shielding

An apparatus for providing board level shielding of Electromagnetic Interference in a printed circuit board is disclosed. The apparatus includes a plastic part, a metal conformal coating and a form-in-place Electromagnetic Interference gasket. The plastic part is configured in one or more compartments to provide an enclosure, and is attached to the printed circuit board. The metal conformal coating is applied continuously to one or more surfaces of the plastic part. The form-in-place Electromagnetic Interference gasket is applied on top of the metal conformal coating in an area of a part flange.

Board level shielding module

An EMI shield having at least one compartment for enclosing circuitry of an electronic device. The shield includes a first member formed of a first material such as a thin metal sheet or screen, or a metal-plated fabric or other electrically-conductive mesh, and a second member formed of a second material different than the first material which second material is an admixture of a plastic or other polymeric component and an electrically-conductive particulate filler component. The second member is integrally joined to the first member, and has at least one wall which extends from the first member and which together with the first member defines at least a portion of the compartment.

Composite EMI shield

Manufacture of an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding cover or other enclosure part for housing circuitry of an electronic device. The enclosure part has an exterior surface and an opposing interior surface metallized with an electrically-conductive EMI shielding layer. The layer is sprayed onto the interior surface in a molten state and is solidified to form a corrosion-resistant, self-adherent coating.

A method for manufacturing an automobile trim component includes the step of coextruding a plastic unfoamed material and foamed material into a multilayer parison, which is thereafter blow molded to a desired form. After the layers are cured, the article is removed from the blow mold and sectioned into multilayer skin halves, and one skin is placed in an injection mold. The core resin, either thermoplastic or thermoset in nature, is then injected into the injection mold and onto the skin, and then compresses the resin against the skin to produce a shell comprising a resin core layer, intermediate foam layer, and decorative outer layer.
