Abstract
A method of EMI shielding the seam(s) of a multiple-part enclosure is provided herein. The enclosure can be produced and assembled quickly and inexpensively. An embodiment of the invention is formed of two conductive sheet metal parts that make up the outer enclosure of an optoelectronic transceiver. The parts come together in a way that allows for an interference fit, and requires a press fit operation for complete engagement. A series of recesses along the edge of one part and a series of oversized (in relation to the recesses) teeth in the other part provide the interference fit. The oversized teeth are pressed into the recesses, providing metal-to-metal contact at regular intervals along the interface. Contact at regular intervals provides a robust EMI shield against electromagnetic waves incident to the enclosure's interior or exterior.
