Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic shielding structure, comprising: at least one elongated first element defining an electrically conductive barrier surface against propagation of electromagnetic energy through said first element; at least one second element, generally oriented along the conductive barrier surface defined by the first element, for continuing said barrier surface against propagation of electromagnetic energy; wherein at least one of the first and second elements has at least a portion of a limited length, oriented to cross a plane of the barrier surface defined by the other of said first and second elements, said first and second elements defining crossing parts, wherein said portion has a receiving slot into which the other of said first and second elements is insertable, said receiving slot having an inside width that is nominally smaller than an outside width of said other of said first and second elements for insertion into the receiving slot, wherein at least one of said receiving slot and said other of the first and second elements is deformed by said insertion, and wherein the first and second elements are electrically and mechanically connected by said insertion.
