ABSTRACT:
The inventive connection mechanism uses a tongue and groove connection in combination with a RF gasket. Fixture panels are constructed by placing the tongue of one panel into the groove of another panel. The gasket is pre-positioned in the groove, such that the tongue compresses the gasket to the manufacture's specified compression thickness. The panels can then be secured using fasteners. RF fixtures constructed with such connection mechanisms can be rapidly assembled. Moreover, the RF fixtures can be rapidly taken apart to allow for maintenance of the internal elements of the fixture. The use of the tongue and groove connection with the RF gasket provides an RF sealed connection. Thus, the fixture is not subject to interference from undesirable external RF signals.
