Patent ID: 7564399

Claim:
A shielded compartment for mounting a high frequency radar component on a printed circuit board, said shielded compartment comprising: a cover member formed from a conductive material; a box member formed from a conductive material and comprising a bottom member and a plurality of side members, the respective conductive material of said bottom member and said side members in combination with the respective conductive material of the cover member forming an electromagnetically shielded cavity for the high frequency radar component; a plurality of extruded mounting elements extending from a surface of the bottom member for mounting the shielded compartment to the printed circuit board; and said extruded mounting elements being formed in the bottom member of said box member and providing solder surfaces for affixing to respective contact pads on the printed circuit board, wherein each of the contact pads is couple to an electrical ground to provide shielding to the shielded compartment, wherein said mounting elements further provide a spaced-apart relationship between the surface of the bottom member and a corresponding surface of the printed circuit board.
