Abstract
An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielded vent panel construction for disposition over an opening of an electronics enclosure. The panel includes an electrically-conductive media having an outer periphery supported within an electrically-conductive frame. The frame is configured as including an elongate end wall, and a pair of oppositely-disposed side walls. Each of the side walls has an outer surface, one of which is disposable about the opening of the enclosure in electrically-conductive adjacency with the surface thereof, and an inner surface spaced-apart from the inner surface of the other of the side walls. The outer periphery of the media is retained intermediate the inner surfaces of the side walls. At least one of the side walls is formed as having a series of spaced-apart first tabs defined therein along the perimeter of the frame, each of the first tabs having a proximal end and a downwardly-depending distal end which contacts the corresponding edge portion of the media effective to provide electrical contact between the frame and the media.
