Patent ID: 7978974

Claim:
An insertable shield clip for use in controlling electromagnetic interference in an optical transceiver module, the optical transceiver module including a shell that houses first and second optical subassemblies and an enclosure that cooperates with the shell in defining a covering for the optical transceiver module, the insertable shield clip comprising: a body composed of conductive material and including: first and second vertical side members, each side member including a first pluality of spring fingers that are configured to be compressed between the shell and the enclosure when the insertable shield clip is positioned within the optical transceiver module; first and second shield members that are each configured to receive a corresponding nosepiece of one of the first and second optical subassemblies, the first and second shield members being positioned proximate a flange of the corresponding nosepiece so as to intercept electromagnetic interference produced by the optical transceiver module; and a bottom member including a second plurality of spring fingers configured to be compressed between the shell and the enclosure when the insertable shield clip is positioned within the optical transceiver module, the bottom member interconnecting the first and second vertical side members and the first and second shield members.
