Abstract

An electronic cartridge which includes a cover that is electrically coupled to a substrate by a clip. An integrated circuit package is mounted to the substrate and at least partially enclosed by the cover. The clips and cover may be connected to a ground plane of the substrate. The cover and substrate may create a "shield" about the integrated circuit package so that any electromagnetic field that flows from the package is grounded to the substrate.
