Abstract
A mounting apparatus and method is suitable for printed wiring assembly (PWA) shielding in an electrical device such as a facsimile machine. The mounting comprises a frame including a substantially flat frame floor, at least one PWA edge card connector, and at least one frame fastener. Continuous shielding walls are positioned immediately adjacent to the frame floor, and the PWA comprises a substantially flat component-mounting surface and a shielding surface, at least one PWA edge card, and at least one frame fastener receiver. The PWA edge card is inserted into the PWA edge card connector and the frame fastener is coupled to the frame fastener receiver such that the PWA component-mounting surface is held within an electromagnetically-shielded volume bounded by the PWA shielding surface, the shielding walls, and the frame floor.
