Abstract:
A memory module assembly comprising:a memory module including a base and a plurality of electronic components mounted on the base, the base having a grounding pad, the base defining a plurality of openings in said grounding pad; andfirst and second shells jointly enclosing the memory module, the shells having an electrically conductive area contacting the grounding pad of the base for preventing electromagnetic interference;projections and apertures being formed on each shell, each projection of one shell aligning to one of the openings of the base and one corresponding aperture of the other shell, wherein said projection can be mechanically deformed such that the memory module is fixedly and reliably sandwiched therebetween;wherein the projections extend through the corresponding openings of the grounding pad for facilitating a grounding path between first and second shells and the memory module.
