Abstract:
A two-part electromagnetic radiation shielding device for mounting on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and surrounding an electric or electronic component requiring shielding and mounted on said PCB, the device comprising a substantially open frame member and a closing can or cover member, said frame member and said can or cover member being constructed from electrically conductive material and having peripheral sides that grip each other in a closing arrangement, said peripheral sides of said frame member and said can or cover member being shaped such that said members exert a continuous gripping force on each other to establish and maintain uninterrupted circumferential electrical contact between said frame member and said can or cover member at facing edges of said peripheral sides of said members, wherein said peripheral sides of one member comprise a bevelled step and said peripheral sides of said other member comprise a reslient portion such that said bevelled step and resilient portion engage each other thereby forcing said members in a closing arrangement.
