Patent ID: 8174847

Claim:
An electrically conductive shield case adapted to contain a component mounting board, the component mounting board including: a first surface, a second surface in opposed relation to the first surface, third and fourth surfaces being end surfaces at ends in a first direction, the first direction being parallel to the first surface, and fifth and sixth surfaces being end surfaces at ends in a second direction, the second direction being parallel to the first surface and intersecting the first direction, the shield case comprising: a first case comprising first, third, and fourth abutting parts; and a second case combinable with the first case, the second case comprising second, fifth, and sixth abutting parts, wherein, in a state where the first and second cases are combined and contain the component mounting board, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth abutting parts abut the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth surface, respectively, of the component mounting board and hold the component mounting board in suspension, wherein the second case is substantially of a box shape and further comprises a peripheral wall, the peripheral wall including substantially rectangular first and second notch parts in opposed positions to receive end portions in the first direction of the component mounting board, the first and second notch parts each including a first edge being a lower edge, a second edge on a first side in the second direction, and a third edge on a second side in the second direction, wherein the second abutting part comprises the first edges of the first and second notch parts and, when the first and second notch pairs receive the end portions of the component mounting board, the first edges abut on the second surface of the end portions of the component mounting board, and wherein the fifth abutting part comprises the second edges of the first and second notch parts, the sixth abutting part comprises the third edges of the first and second notch parts, and, when the first and second notch parts receive the end portions of the component mounting board, the second and third edges abut on the fifth and sixth surfaces respectively, of the component mounting board.
