Patent ID: 8890003

Claim:
An apparatus for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding, the apparatus comprising: a first EMC shield with a plurality of substantially parallel interconnected finger elements spaced apart from one another; a second EMC shield with a plurality of substantially parallel interconnected finger elements spaced apart from one another; the first EMC shield coupled to the second EMC shield, wherein at least one finger element of the plurality substantially parallel interconnected finger elements of the first EMC shield is situated between at least two finger elements of the plurality of substantially parallel interconnected finger elements of the second EMC shield and in parallel with the at least two finger elements such that a space is formed between the at least one finger element and at least one of the at least two finger elements; wherein the plurality of substantially parallel interconnected finger elements of the first EMC shield are interconnected at one end via a first plate running perpendicular to the plurality of substantially parallel finger elements of the first EMC shield; and wherein the plurality of substantially parallel interconnected finger elements of the second EMC shield are interconnected at one end via a second plate running perpendicular to the plurality of substantially parallel finger elements of the second EMC shield.
