Abstract
An electrical component is provided that has a plurality of electrical leads. Further, an electromagnetic interference shield and ground cage is provided which has a plurality of conductive walls connected together to form an enclosure having an open bottom. One of the walls has a plurality of openings formed therein to allow the plurality of leads to be passed into the enclosure. The electromagnetic interference shield and ground cage further has at least two ground connection pins attached to a lower edge of the walls. One of the leads is a ground lead that is electrically coupled to the electromagnetic interference shield and ground cage at one of the openings, thus reducing the length, inductance and impedance of the ground lead.
