Abstract

The present invention discloses methods and apparatus for installing printed circuit boards within an electronic assembly. One embodiment of the present invention is an electro-magnetic interference shielding apparatus for an electronic assembly comprising a shielding partition that separates a first compartment from a second compartment. The apparatus further comprises a top enclosure capable of engaging with the shielding partition to form a plurality of contact seams. The contact seams are capable of restricting electro-magnetic interference from passing through the shielding apparatus. The top enclosure can be capable of tool-free installation and removal to provide access to the interior of the electronic assembly.
