Abstract
A combination of EMI-shield-retention features molded onto a bezel for an equipment enclosure. The features collectively fasten a notched and cutout EMI shield to the inner surface of the bezel without requiring any tools or fasteners. Several −Z-retention features provide surfaces for the EMI shield to lie flat against the inner surface of the bezel, while several X, Y-retention features protrude through holes and notches cut in the EMI shield to further retain the EMI shield. Finally, +Z-retention features along one edge of the bezel provide flanges for the EMI shield to slide under, while +Z-retention features, on the opposite edge of the bezel from the flanges, snap over top of the EMI shield.
