Board Level EMI Shielding

Standard Board Level Shield Design

In addition to an infinite number of possibilities for custom board level shielding, Tech-Etch also offers a standard two piece board level shield design. This design incorporates a unique spring finger style attachment between fence and cover. The use of this design can be customized to almost any possible configuration including rectangular, “L” shaped, “V” shaped, or even irregular shapes. With the utilization of brass and tin plating, the standard design materials are always in stock with no special materials required.

Tech-Etch offers the ability to design the shield for you. By using the latest technology available including Solid Works and AutoCad, simply send in your circuit board electronic data files and Tech-Etch will provide customized shielding files and drawing designs for your requirements.

MATERIALS

Board level shielding is typically etched from .007" - .020" brass, nickel silver, copper or cold rolled steel. Board level shielding can also be manufactured out of beryllium copper, if spring qualities are desired. The standard finish is tin plate. Other finishes are available.

FORMING

Depth-etch bend lines allow forming without tooling by the customer or the factory.
