Abstract

A housing (10) for shielding a circuit (12) from electromagnetic interference comprises a shielding component (20) having at least one aperture (40). A plastic material (50) is molded over the shielding component (20). A portion (54) of the plastic material (50) is received within the aperture (40) for securing the plastic material to the shielding component (20). A method of making a housing (10) for shielding a circuit (12) from electromagnetic interference includes the steps of providing a shielding component (20) having an aperture (40); molding a plastic material (50) over the shielding component; and securing the plastic material to the shielding component by receiving a first portion (54) of the plastic material into the aperture in the shielding component.
