Abstract
An EMI gasket takes the form of a formed conductive shroud that completely encircles a metal shielding cage. The shroud has an opening that is surrounded by a plurality of sides and the shroud contains a base portion that has slits formed in a leading edge thereof. The slits define a plurality of spring arms or contacts that are bent in opposing directions so that some of the spring arms extend up and out into contact with a faceplate inserted over the shielding cage and the remaining spring arms extend down and into the shielding cage interior to contact a module inserted therein.
