Abstract
A contiguous gasket provides an electromagnetic and environmental seal between the base and lid of a microcircuit housing. The base has a flat surface that allows easy access of tools for assembling electronic components. Channels are cut into a corresponding flat portion of the lid to accommodate the electronic components mounted on the base. High-frequency feedthroughs are brought through sidewall connector features of the base that rise above the assembly surface. Feedthroughs are optionally brought through the flat portion of the base as well. When the microcircuit housing is assembled, the lid compresses the gasket against the base to form an electromagnetic and environmental seal.
