ABSTRACT:
A sealing feature for a multiple-piece housing for optoelectronic devices. The housing provides EMI shielding and axial stain suppression for optical fibers coupled to optoelectronic devices retained within the housing. In an exemplary embodiment, the scaling feature includes a corrugated channel having a cross-sectional area that varies along the longitudinal direction of said channel and the channel retains a gasket having a substantially constant cross-sectional area. The corrugated channel, which receives the gasket, includes varying wide and narrow sections. The sealing feature provides for sufficient compression throughout the gasket and a tight, EMI-shielding seal formed between the pieces of the housing.
