A shield is described for minimizing leakage of electromagnetic waves from a connector/chassis interface. The shield includes a conductive strip sized to at least partially surround an aperture in a chassis, where the chassis receives a connector port assembly through the aperture. The conductive strip includes an outer portion affixed to an interior surface of the chassis, and an inner portion able to be manipulated to at least partially cover one or more gaps between the connector port assembly and the chassis.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield

Presented herein is a modular connector with electromagnetic interference suppression. The modular connector includes a substrate, at least one set of spring pins, and a ferrite component. Each spring in the at least one set of springs includes a first portion adjacent the substrate and a second portion extending away from the substrate. The ferrite component surrounds the at least one set of spring pins, couples the at least one set of spring pins to the substrate, and is configured to suppress electromagnetic interference.

Modular connectors with electromagnetic interference suppression

Techniques are provided for electrically connecting components on a printed circuit board (PCB), semiconductor chip package, or other electronic device. More specifically, a first component, configured to generate a differential signal, is disposed on the PCB, while a second component, configured to receive the differential signal from the first component, is also disposed on the PCB. A differential conductor pair comprising first and second parallel conductors extends along a path between the first and second components. The path of the differential conductor pair comprises at least one turn that causes a change in direction of the first and second conductors. The first conductor comprises at least one localized skew compensation bend disposed at the turn such that, at the end of the turn, the first and second conductors have substantially the same length with respect to the first component.
