Publication number: 20130120957Abstract: An RF shield formed of RF opaque material that permits access to components on a printed circuit board is described. The RF shield can include a first portion attached to the PCB and a removable top portion attached to the first portion at an interface. The top portion is removed from the first portion to expose the components on the PCB. In one aspect of the described embodiment, the top portion is peeled away from the first portion. The components are enclosed within the RF shield after the removal of the top portion by attaching and sealing another top portion to the first portion at the interface by, for example, laser attaching the first portion and the other top portion at the interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2012Publication date: May 16, 2013Applicant: APPLE INC.Inventor: Apple Inc.

Patent number: 8383960Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2010Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: A.K. Stamping Company, Inc.Inventors: Arthur Kurz, Mark Andrews, Michael Schneider

Publication number: 20120307436Abstract: Apparatus and methods for reducing cross talk between electrical ports are described. An electronic device comprises a housing for electronic circuitry and has a plurality of ports for connecting electrical devices. Each port includes a connector connected by at least one electrical connection to the electronic circuitry. A connector shield is arranged to provide an electrically conductive loop around which an induced electrical current can flow to reduce cross-talk between ports. A shielding can is part of the connector shield and includes a body formed of a folded sheet of electrically conductive material and an electrical contact for electrically connecting the body to a connector. A face of the body defines a first aperture shaped to receive the connector so that the shielding can may be arranged about the connector to form a part of the electrically conductive loop.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: December 6, 2012Applicant: ADDER TECHNOLOGY LIMITEDInventors: Nigel DICKENS, Camelin CAINE

Publication number: 20120298414Abstract: Provided is a shield for shielding electromagnetic waves, which can easily perform maintenance and repair of circuit elements without separating the shield from a circuit board even after the shield is fixed on the circuit board. In a shield for shielding electromagnetic waves formed in the shape of a box having an opened bottom so as to cover circuit elements disposed on a circuit board, the shield is composed of a shield cover corresponding to a top surface thereof and a shield wall corresponding to a sidewall thereof, and the shield cover includes a frame and a cut-away part cut away at an inside of the frame. The cut-away part opens/closes the inside of the frame of the shield cover as the other side of the cut-away part is rotated using one side of the cut-away part as a rotational axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2011Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: SUNG DUK ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventor: Hyun Sook PARK

Publication number: 20120285738Abstract: An electronics enclosure system includes a conductive polymer which includes electromagnetic interference shielding properties and produced to enhancing SE, reducing material costs, and improving thermal flow. “Parallel” hex shaped EMI waveguides placed in a honeycomb pattern are stacked in a staggered fashion with similar hex shaped EMI waveguides placed in a honeycomb pattern. The parallel hex shaped EMI waveguides extend into the interior and/or “cuts” into one or more sides of a an electronics enclosure. An EMI shielding polymer material, such as a coated polymer, or a nickel-fiber carbon polymer such as Primere® providing sufficient EMI shielding (or alternately a material that can be formed such as Superplastic Zinc) is used, having the result that the need for shielding gaskets are reduced, material usage is decreased, and thermal flow is greatly improved.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2010Publication date: November 15, 2012Inventors: Paul Douglas Cochrane, David Bogart Dort
