Abstract: This disclosure relates to a multi-piece shield comprising a fence, a lid, and an insert. The lid attaches to the fence, which is attached to the circuit board. The lid is a relatively thick, flexible material for supporting the insert. The lid has a recess so that the insert can be recessed into the lid to position the insert closer to the circuit for enhanced heat absorption. The insert is made of a thicker heat absorbing material than the lid, again to facilitate heat absorption. The insert can be press-fit into the recess of the lid. The lid can have a dovetail configuration to retain the insert in the lid.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stamped antenna includes providing a sheet of metallic material for a first stamping. A first stamping of the sheet of metallic material is performed to form at least one antenna that includes traces, contacts, a carrier connected to the traces, and at least one tie-bar connected between the traces. A pad is provided with at least one pressure sensitive adhesive area that is provided on the pad in substantially the same shape as the traces of the antenna. The pressure sensitive adhesive area is aligned with the traces of the antenna, and then bonded to the traces of the at least one antenna. A second stamping of the at least one antenna and the pressure sensitive adhesive is then performed to remove the at least one carrier and the at least one tie-bar connected to the traces.
