Abstract
An electronic module and method of making an electronic module include a printed circuit board (PCB) having a surface, at least one conductive trace being formed on the surface. A housing element for mechanically mating with the PCB includes at least one mating surface aligned with the conductive trace on the PCB when the PCB and the housing element are mechanically mated, the mating surface comprising a plurality of alternating protrusions and spaces between the protrusions. An electrical gasket is formed on the mating surface of the housing element such that the electrical gasket conforms with the protrusions and spaces on the mating surface of the housing element and is disposed between the mating surface of the housing element and the conductive trace on the surface of the PCB when the housing element and the PCB are mechanically mated, such that the electrical gasket provides an electromagnetic interference (EMI) seal between the mating surface of the housing element and the conductive trace on the first surface of the PCB.
