Patent ID: 7280368

Claim:
A circuit board module, comprising: a circuit board defining a top side, a bottom side and a set of holes extending through the circuit board between the top side and the bottom side; a circuit board component mounted to a portion of the circuit board; and an electromagnetic interference shield assembly configured to provide electromagnetic interference shielding on the circuit board, the electromagnetic interference shield assembly including: a top shield, and a bottom shield, the top shield and the bottom shield being configured to substantially enclose the portion of the circuit board to provide electromagnetic interference shielding substantially around the portion of the circuit board when (i) contacts of the top shield insert into the set of holes defined by the circuit board in a first direction from the top side toward the bottom side, and (ii) contacts of the bottom shield simultaneously insert into the same set of holes defined by the circuit board in a second direction from the bottom side toward the top side; wherein the top shield and the bottom shield are configured to contemporaneously encase the portion of the circuit board and the circuit board component; wherein the contacts of the top shield and the contacts of the bottom shield are configured to press-fit into the set of holes defined by the circuit board; and wherein the contacts of the bottom shield are sockets which compress within the set of holes defined by the circuit board; and wherein the contacts of the top shield are pins configured to insert into the sockets.
