Tech Spotlight: Low-profile level shielding

SlimShield, a low-profile, two-piece board level shielding gasketing line with a dimpled cover that snaps into etched holes on the fence, offers shield heights as low as to .060 in. The photo etching process provides design freedom and fast delivery. Standard dimple tooling offers variable dimple location with excellent cover retention at very low cost. There is no tooling cost on standard two-piece designs. An optional flange for added rigidity is available on larger fence designs. Multicavity designs are achieved by incorporating internal fences enabling multiple components to be shielded with the same part. Mounting pins are offered in any configuration. There is no additional cost for holes and slots for heat dissipation, as well as logos and part numbers. A configurable PDF sales drawing for the new low-profile board level shields can be downloaded from the company's Web site. The company also offers standard one-piece designs with depth-etched bend lines for easy hand forming, as well as standard two-piece designs that utilize a spring-finger style attachment between fence and cover.
