ABSTRACT:
Aspects of the present disclosure provide methods for mounting fingerstock EMI shielding gaskets on sheet metal structures. The fingerstock EMI shielding gasket may include a generally D-shaped cross section with at least one mounting tab forming at least part of an upright portion. In one particular exemplary embodiment, a mounting method generally includes providing a sheet metal structure with inner and outer tabs which protrude outwardly from a surface of the sheet metal structure. The inner tabs may be oriented generally toward the outer tabs and may be laterally separated from the outer tabs. The shielding gasket may be slidably inserted into position longitudinally between the inner and outer tabs.
