Abstract
An apparatus and method for shielding electromagnetic interference (EMI) includes a cover having a body portion and an angled flange portion, the angled flange portion substantially surrounding a perimeter portion of the body portion to allow a force applied in a direction substantially perpendicular to the body portion to deflect the angled flange portion and bias the angled flange portion against a contact surface to form a positive contact between the angled flange portion and the contact surface thereby shielding EMI.
