Abstract: An apparatus for electromagnetically shielding electronic equipment has a first and second spaced apart housing members having a gap between them. A rigid member having a plurality of openings is interposed between them. A spring member connected to the rigid member has a plurality of spring fingers extending through openings in the rigid member. A cover member has a cam which forces the first housing member against one side of the spring member to extend the spring finger into the second housing member in order to cause an electrical connection between the first and second housing members.
