  • Dimensionally-constrained device faraday cage
    Patent number: 10925196
    Abstract: The description relates to devices, such as computing devices that can include dimensionally-constrained shielded circuit board assemblies. One example can include a circuit board that includes an upwardly extending fence. The example can also include a heat generating component positioned within the fence and a thermal module defining a major planar surface positioned over the heat generating component. The thermal module can include a downwardly extending frame that overlaps with the fence. The gasket can be compressed between the fence and the frame in a direction parallel to the major planar surface.
