Abstract: An RF shield having a removable cover is disclosed. An RF shield for shielding an electronic component comprises a plurality of sidewalls and an interconnecting top wall, with the sidewalls and the top wall enclosing a cavity adapted to receive therein the electrical component to be shielded. The top wall is constructed of a first thickness and includes a frangible connection defined by at least one score line circumscribing a removable central portion. The score line has a second thickness less than the first thickness. The frangible connection may be severed in response to the application of a force on the central portion, thereby permitting removal of the central portion to form an access opening.
