Abstract
An I/O shield for an electronic assembly comprises a shielding plate having a reinforcing plate and a resilient plate attached together with a pair of side walls respectively extending from opposite edges thereof and a number of receiving slots disposed therein. The shielding plate is guided into an opening disposed in a chassis of the electronic assembly by the side walls. A number of spaced spring contacts is formed on the side walls by stamping and bending. Each spring contact comprises a base integrally formed with the side wall, a bend and a free end. The tip of the bend is located nearer to the base than to the free end. Thus, the free end will not warp or engage with notches disposed in a peripheral flange of the opening thereby facilitating removal of the I/O shield.
