Abstract
An electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC) shielding enclosure for a printed circuit board (PCB) or other electronic components has a conductive plastic top housing portion and a conductive bottom housing portion. The top housing portion has projecting fingers integral therewith. The bottom housing portion has an inner surface with walls projecting therefrom for substantially encompassing the PCB. When the enclosure is assembled, the PCB is located between the top housing portion and the bottom housing portion, the fingers from the top housing portion surround at least a major portion of the PCB and the fingers physically contact the bottom housing portion or are sufficiently close for capacitive coupling.
