Filed:

Dec 9, 1991

Appl. No.:

7/804489

Inventors:

Richard E. Sims - Arlington Heights IL
William E. Curran - Medinah IL
Stefan J. Hipskind - Roselle IL

Assignee:

The Curran Company - Glendale Heights IL

International Classification:

E04F 1500
H05K 900

US Classification:

156 71

Abstract:

A method of forming EMI shielded enclosures, an EMI shielded enclosure and EMI shield are provided. A sealer composition is applied onto a surface and is allowed to substantially dry cure into a uniform, seamless layer. An adhesive composition is applied to the dried sealer composition. Then, an electrically-conductive material, such as metallic sheet, such as copper sheeting, is attached to the dried sealer composition by the adhesive composition. Alternatively, a bonded sheet of dielectric material is applied to the adhesive composition. Then the metallic sheet is attached to the bonded sheet of dielectric material by an adhesive composition second layer.

Abstract:

A window for an electromagnetic interference shielded enclosure includes a frame defining a window aperture. A pair of spaced apart, light transmitting, fluid impervious panels are supported by the frame and cover the aperture. In the region enclosed by the frame and the pair of panels, a quantity of light transmitting and electrically conductive fluid is captured. The fluid is electrically connected through the frame to the shield of an enclosure to provide an optically transparent window while maintaining the integrity of the shield.
