ABSTRACT:
An electronic apparatus, such as a meter, includes an enclosure having a first housing portion with an opening and a second front plate portion. Meter circuitry is mounted within the enclosure. The second front plate portion mates with the first housing portion within the opening and forms an interface joint. The housing and front plate portions are at least substantially co-planar proximate the interface joint and include a plurality of mating crenellations. These mating crenellation, such as serrations, reduce electromagnetic interference radiation to or from the enclosure when the housing and front plate portions are mated together.
