Abstract
An improved plate for mounting a plurality of receptacles on an electronics device, particularly a data communications peripheral, is disclosed. The plate is designed to be secured to an electronic subassembly which may be dropped into a portion of an enclosure and the plate placed proximate to a large opening in the enclosure. In order to compensate for mechanical tolerances on the fit of the plate within the enclosure, since it is attached to the subassembly, free edges of the plate which may act as an elongated antenna for emitting radio frequency interference are broken up into fingers of predetermined length. This attenuates the radiation from such edge. Additionally, the fingers are bent down to contact an electrically grounded portion of the enclosure to provide further RFI suppression.
