  • Patent number: 11201423
    Abstract: This document describes techniques and apparatuses, including card connector assemblies with integrated component shielding for electronic devices. The card connector assembly includes frame, a riser, and a shielded contact block. The frame includes a card holder that receives a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). The riser supports the card holder spaced apart from the PCB. The shielded contact block configured for surface mounting to a printed circuit board (PCB) that includes an electronic component. The shielded contact block includes a recess that receives a portion of the electronic component therein, an interconnect that connects at least one pin on the UICC with at least one contact, and a component shield located in the recess. The component shield defines a shielded area configured to attenuate electromagnetic waves generated by the electronic component.
