Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing an electromagnetic conduction seal in a device disposed within an electrical enclosure includes a metal EMC gasket defined by a first end an and opposite second end. The first end is operably secured to the device and at least the second end is allowed to float while remaining in electrical contact with the device. A lock strip is fixed to the device and is configured to provide limits of deflection of an intermediate portion of the gasket intermediate the first and second ends and captivate at least one floating end of the gasket. The intermediate portion provides an electromagnetic conduction seal between the device and with at least one of another device and/or the electrical enclosure.
