Classification: H05K

Abstract:
A module for enclosing electronic systems which generate electromagnetic radiation and thermal energy comprising:an electrically conductive metal front, an electrically conductive metal left side mechanically and electrically connected to said front, an electrically conductive metal right side mechanically and electrically connected to said front, a rear opening, a top frame of electrically conductive cast or machined solid metal which is mechanically and electrically connected to said front, said left side and said right side, said top frame having at least one opening, electrically conductive honeycomb material received in and substantially filling the at least one opening in said top frame and being mechanically and electrically connected to said top frame, a bottom frame of electrically conductive cast or machined solid metal which is mechanically and electrically connected to said front, said left side and said right side, said bottom frame having at least one opening, and electrically conductive honeycomb material received in and substantially filling the at least one opening in said bottom frame and being mechanically and electrically connected to said bottom frame, whereby the honeycomb material provides electromagnetic radiation shielding while permitting airflow therethrough.
