Abstract
Electromagnetic radiation containment in an electronic module. In one example, an electronic module includes a housing, a printed circuit board, and an electrically conductive sealing element. The printed circuit board is partially positioned within the housing and defines an edge connector extending from the housing. The electrically conductive sealing element radially surrounds 360 degrees of one end of the housing and the printed circuit board proximate the edge connector such that when the edge connector is fully received in a host board connector mounted to a host board, the electrically conductive sealing element cooperates with a corresponding structure of the host board to at least partially define a Faraday cage substantially enclosing the edge connector and the host board connector. The housing defines a radial groove which aids in the retention of the sealing element.
