Abstract
An exemplary embodiment of a gasket is configured for providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and/or grounding of one or more electrical components on a substrate disposed within a passageway of a member having a generally circular cross-section. The gasket may include inner and outer portions that cooperatively define a generally circular annular shape with a generally central opening. The outer portion may be configured to be disposed circumferentially along and in electrical contact with an electrically-conductive surface of the member in a first direction. The inner portion may be configured to be disposed circumferentially along an edge portion of the substrate and in electrical contact with at least one electrically-conductive portion on the substrate in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction. Accordingly, the gasket may establish electrical grounding contact from the at least one electrically-conductive portion on the substrate to the member.
