Abstract:
An electromagnetic shielding device adapted for use with a circuit board that has an electronic component mounted thereon, said electromagnetic shielding device comprising:a hollow shielding frame made of metal and having an open bottom side, said shielding frame confining a component-receiving space that is accessible from said open bottom side, said open bottom side of said shielding frame being adapted to be mounted on the circuit board such that the electronic component on the circuit board extends into said component-receiving space through said open bottom side; and an elongate resilient member made of a heat-conductive material, said resilient member being disposed in said component-receiving space and having a contact portion adapted to contact the electronic component in said component-receiving space for dissipating heat generated by the electronic component, and at least one resilient arm portion for connecting said contact portion to said shielding frame.
