Abstract
An electronic device assembly (100)includes a chassis (102), printed circuit boards (108 and 110), and a shield member (128). By placing the circuit boards (108 and 110) inside of chassis (102) and then engaging shield member (128), the printed circuits boards (108 and 110) are retained in place and shielded without the use of any other components. Shield member (128) includes a set of spring fingers (114) having tabs (116) which latch onto recesses (106) located on the side walls (132) of chassis (102). Upon the shield member (128) being engaged to chassis (102), the side walls (122) located on shield (128) press against printed circuit boards (108 and 110) and retain them in position without the use of additional fasteners.
