  • Shield can
    Patent number: 11032954
    Abstract: A shield can assembly is described. In one or more implementations, a frame is installed on a printed circuit board (PCB) by using a cross-bar connected to opposing sides of the frame to place the frame on the PCB. Subsequent to installation of the frame on the PCB, the cross-bar is removed from the frame. Once the cross-bar is removed, one or more flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are installed on the PCB. Then, a lid is connected to the frame to from a shield can over the FPCs.

  • Mechanically attached edge shield
    Patent number: 10375865
    Abstract: The edge shields disclosed herein utilize a plated edge surface of a PCB to form one or more sides of an electronic shield to reduce the amount of top surface area of the PCB occupied by the electronic shield. More specifically, an edge shield lid is mechanically attached to the plated edge surface to remove a need for solder overprint at the edge of the PCB. The edge shield lid is soldered, welded, adhered, or mechanically attached to edge walls where there is no available edge surface for attachment.

  • Shield Can
    Publication number: 20140218851
    Abstract: A shield can is described. In one or more implementations, a shield can includes a frame configured to be installed on a printed circuit board. The shield can also includes a lid configured to be connected to the frame after installation of the frame to form the shield can over one or more components that are installed on the PCB.
