Patent ID: 7488902

Claim:
A shielding apparatus suitable for use in providing electromagnetic interference shielding for one or more electrical components on a substrate, the shielding apparatus comprising: side walls configured to be disposed generally about one or more electrical components on a substrate; corner sections integrally formed with the side walls, each corner section having: a drawn portion integrally connecting a corresponding pair of side walls; a lower portion located generally below the drawn portion and generally between side edge portions of the corresponding pair of side walls; a top surface integrally formed with the side walls and drawn portions such that the side walls and drawn portions depend downwardly relative to the top surface with the drawn portions integrally connecting the corresponding side walls and the top surface, and wherein the top surface extends across the shielding apparatus from side wall to side wall, whereby the shielding apparatus is operable for shielding one or more electrical components on the substrate that are within an interior cooperatively defined by the side walls, corner sections, top surface, and at least a portion of the substrate.
