Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic interference shielding arrangement comprising a first and a second electro-conductive components arranged to be joined, wherein: the first electro-conductive component comprises a first wall and a peripheral flange located at the periphery of the first wall and which projects perpendicularly from the first wall, and a first electro-conductive contact surface on the peripheral flange; and the second electro-conductive component comprises a second wall having a boundary edge, a second electro-conductive contact surface and a shielding member extending from the second wall at a location adjacent the second electro-conductive surface and projecting perpendicularly to the second wall and separated from the boundary edge by the second electro-conductive contact surface; the arrangement being such that, in the joined configuration of the first and the second electro-conductive components the boundary edge of the second wall of the second electro-conductive component is aligned with the first wall of the first component, the first and the second electro-conductive surfaces abut to create an electro-conductive engagement region that is adjacent the shielding member and the shielding member is disposed adjacently an entrance edge of the engagement region to shield the entrance edge of the engagement region from outgoing electromagnetic waves, the electro-conductive engagement region providing electrical connection between the first and the second electro-conductive components.
