Abstract: A system for manufacturing an antenna includes a first stamping station, a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) alignment station, a bonding station, a second stamping station, and a ferrite shield station. The first stamping station receives a sheet of metallic material and stamps the sheet to form an antenna including traces, contacts, a carrier connected to the traces, and a tie-bar connected between the traces. The PSA alignment station receives the stamped antenna and aligns a PSA area of a pad with the traces, the PSA area being substantially the same shape as the traces. The bonding station bonds the PSA area to the traces after it has been aligned with the traces. The second stamping station performs a second stamping of the antenna and the PSA area to remove the carrier and the tie-bar. The ferrite shield station bonds a ferrite shield to the antenna stamped for a second time.

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

Abstract: A one-piece board level shielding element with a top cover peel panel is secured to a circuit board to shield and provide access to a shielded component. The shielding element is formed with a top having a peel line to facilitate removal of the peel panel with a peel tool. Once the repair is completed, a new cover is put on to the remaining side-walls to reestablish the shielding. The shield top cover is formed with a peel tool insertion slot and an adjacent peel start slot. The peel panel is removed by a peel tool having a peel hook mounted to a cylindrical peel key that is inserted into the insertion slot and hooks the cover at the peel start slot. Upon rotating the peel key away from the peel start slot, the peel panel is easily removed. A fixture plate may be used to support the peel tool and assist in removal of the peel panel.
