Abstract: An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield that increases the airflow through the EMI shield while preventing line-of-sight openings through the EMI shield. Two plates are coupled together. Each of the respective plates has a raised component with an aperture therethrough to provide a path through the plate. The raised component is preferably scoop-shaped with the aperture at one end and an opposite end tapering into the respective plate. At least a portion of one of the raised components overlaps at least a portion of the other of the raised components when the plates are coupled together to form a path through the plates, while the plates are coupled together. Line-of-sight openings through the plates, to an electronic device protected by the EMI shield, are at least partially prevented by the raised components.

Abstract: In ultrasonic bonding of a metal terminal to a substrate pad, a thin buffer metal layer which is formed of a soft metal or a highly slidable metal is interposed between a terminal edge and a pad so as to prevent direct contact between an end of the terminal and the pad upon bonding. This makes it possible to prevent abrasion and a crack in the pad at the end of the terminal caused by pressure and an ultrasonic wave upon the ultrasonic bonding. This makes it possible to realize a compact bonded structure with high reliability.
