A two-piece board-level product shields against electromagnetic interference. The low-profile SlimShield has a dimpled cover that snaps into etched holes on the fence and offers shield heights as low as 0.060 in. Supplied in standard and custom configurations for small medical electronic devices, the shields can be photoetched in any design. Dimple tooling offers variable dimple location with good cover retention. According to the company, two-piece designs are tooling cost–free. Multicavity designs incorporate internal fences that enable multiple components to be shielded with just one part. A flange, for added rigidity, is available on larger fence designs.
