Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of EMI shields including electrically-conductive foam (broadly, electrically-conductive resiliently compressible porous material). An exemplary embodiment includes an electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield for an optical transceiver including transmitter and receiver optical sub-assemblies. The EMI shield includes a portion having openings configured for receiving the transmitter and receiver optical sub-assemblies therethrough to thereby allow the EMI shield to be fit over the transmitter and receiver optical sub-assemblies for installation along a portion of the optical transceiver. The EMI shield also includes sidewalls depending from the portion that includes the openings. Electrically-conductive resiliently compressible porous material (e.g., electrically-conductive foam, etc.) is along at least a portion of an outer perimeter defined by the sidewalls.

Abstract: According to various aspects, exemplary embodiments are provided of current chokes suitable for use in DC to DC converters. For example, a current choke may include a ferrite body with at least one pair of laterally spaced-apart interior conductors disposed lengthwise within the body. A first pair of end terminations may be disposed on a first end of the body and connected to the interior conductors, and a second pair of end terminations may be disposed on a second end of the body and connected to the interior conductors. A nonmagnetic dielectric may be disposed within the body laterally between the interior conductors. The nonmagnetic dielectric may be configured to control magnetic coupling between the at least one pair of interior conductors so that the current choke is operable with a coefficient of magnetic coupling between the interior conductors of less than about 0.90.
