Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention generally relates to improved board-level electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding for use in applications where heat dissipation is important. In particular, the present invention relates to a shield that is easy to disassemble, compatible with single or multi-compartment shield designs, has thinner sides, is lighter in weight and supports improved heat dissipation of the shield elements. This solution is particularly advantageous for use in smaller electronic devices, such as mobile phones, personal digital assistants, handheld and laptop computers, and the like. Background of the invention
[0002] EMI shielding limits electromagnetic radiation from entering or leaving the area of a printed circuit board (PCB) that contains electronic components. An EMI shield is further defined as "board level" if it is attached directly to the PCB surface with no external or free fixtures such as screws or bolts, thereby removing a ...
