Abstract
An improved F-connector can be mounted perpendicularly on a printed circuit board to reduce radiated emissions by using an integrated shield flange on the F-connector body. The improved F-connector is attached to a shield frame that is part of an RF shield containment box mounted on the printed circuit board. In one embodiment, the shield flange is integral to the improved F-connector body and is manufactured to fill the gap between an RF shield frame and a corresponding RF shield cover. The improved F-connector with integral shielding flange mounted on the shield frame utilizes the shield flange of the improved F-connector to fill the physical gaps between the shield cover the improved F-connector. With reduced or eliminated physical gaps, the radiated emission of the assembly are either reduced or eliminated.
