Abstract
An enclosure protects electronic equipment from physical contact and electromagnetic interference. The enclosure includes a base portion which is attachable to a circuit board and which surrounds all sides of the electronic equipment. A cover is attachable to the base in order to cover the top of the electronic equipment. The cover is attachable to the base by snap-in tangs formed on the base which cooperate with projections formed on the cover. The base is attachable to the circuit board by snap-in fasteners formed on the base. The base and the cover are made of a material which reflects and/or absorbs EMI. The EMI shielding enclosure protects the electronic equipment and allows access to the electronic equipment for replacement or repair without having to take the time to manipulate separate mechanical fasteners.
