  • Patent number: 10334766
    Abstract: A shield structure includes a shield bracket, a shield cover, and a shield layer. The shield cover is formed with openings. The shield layer is spliced with the shield cover through a conductive tape layer and covers all openings. The shield cover is formed with openings and a light shield layer is spliced with the shield cover and covers the openings, greatly reducing the weight of the shield cover while ensuring the shielding effect, without compressing space for other elements. The shield layer is thin, capable of lowering down the shield, dissipating heat effectively, reducing the temperature of the whole machine and providing a good environment for the operation of the whole machine, without affecting the shielding effect; and the conductive tape layer is spliced with the shield layer, thus allowing multiple assembling without damaging the whole structure, and facilitating subsequent repair.

  • Publication number: 20120181079
    Abstract: Shielding performance and protection from radiated RF energy at a cable's point of entry to an enclosure are improved when a shield of the cable is AC coupled around an entire opening of the enclosure using a discoidal capacitor. The capacitor may be electrically coupled to the shield and the enclosure around the entire inner and outer circumferences of the discoidal capacitor. Compared to traditional DC coupling or the use of a drain wire and traditional capacitor, using the discoidal capacitor lowers inductance and improves shielding of the opening itself while improving AC filtering characteristics and preventing ground loops.

  • Patent number: 7084356
    Abstract: The replacement lid for an electromagnetic shielding device is generally planar with stenciled solder segments formed immediately inwardly adjacent from the periphery thereof. The replacement lid is installed onto an electromagnetic shielding device by placing the stenciled solder segments against the walls of the electromagnetic shielding device so that the unstenciled side of the replacement lid is exposed. The installer then applies a heat source to the unstenciled side of the replacement lid thereby melting the solder and forming a bond between the replacement lid and the shielding device. The replacement lid may be manufactured by securing the replacement lid between a platen and a stencil and using a squeegee to apply solder paste through the stencil onto the replacement lid.
