Patent ID: 7804696

Claim:
An electromagnetic radiation containment system, comprising: an electronic module having a protruding edge connector; a host board having a host board connector mounted thereto; an electrically conductive shroud mounted to a ground plane of the host board, the electrically conductive shroud defining a first opening by way of which the edge connector of the electronic module can be received and that is sealed by the host board, the electrically conductive shroud further defining a second opening through which the host board connector is received, the electrically conductive shroud being devoid of other openings that are large enough for electromagnetic radiation to escape therethrough, the electrically conductive shroud sized and shaped to substantially enclose the host board connector mounted to the host board; and an electrically conductive sealing element disposed about a portion of the electronic module such that, when the edge connector of the electronic module is fully received in the host board connector, the electrically conductive sealing element cooperates with the electronic module to seal the second opening of the electrically conductive shroud, the sealed electrically conductive shroud defining a Faraday cage substantially enclosing the edge connector and the host board connector.
