Patent ID: 8724343

Claim:
An electromagnetic shielding member for use on an HDMI connector, comprising: (a) a single sheet of metal having slots along an edge of the sheet to form a plurality of resilient fingers; (b) the single sheet of metal being bent around first and second bend axes inwardly and approximately ninety degrees to form a top planar surface ( 130 ) and first and second side walls, the single sheet of metal being sized and dimensioned to receive the HDMI connector in between the first and second side walls and top planar surface; (c) wherein the plurality of resilient fingers are formed along the edge of the top planar surface and first and second side walls and bent outward with a bend radius of approximately 0.020 inches with respect to a flat surface of the sidewalls and top planar surface, respectively, wherein the plurality of fingers applying a biasing force against a surface of a faceplate; (d) each of the side walls includes an elongated leg being interconnected with a circuit board, wherein each of the elongated legs extends beyond a bottom edge of each of the side walls; (e) wherein each leg is substantially perpendicular to the plurality of fingers on the respective side walls; and (f) wherein the single sheet of metal is composed of Beryllium Copper alloy, the Beryllium Copper alloy single sheet is plated with Tin and the Tin plated Beryllium Copper alloy has a uniform thickness of approximately 0.005 inches.
