Tech-Etch introduces new SlimShield, a low-profile,
two-piece board level shielding line with a dimpled cover that snaps into
etched holes on the fence and offers shield heights as low as to 0.06”. The
photo etching process provides complete design freedom and fast delivery.
Standard dimple tooling offers variable dimple location with excellent cover
retention at very low cost. There is no tooling cost on standard two-piece
designs. An optional flange for added rigidity is available on larger fence
designs. Multi-cavity designs are achieved by incorporating internal fences
enabling multiple components to be shielded with the same part. Mounting pins
are offered in any configuration. There is no additional cost for holes and
slots for heat dissipation, as well as logos and part numbers. A configurable
PDF sales drawing for the new low-profile board level shields can be downloaded
from the website.
Tech-Etch also offers economical, standard one-piece designs
with depth-etched bend lines for easy hand forming, as well as standard
two-piece designs that utilize a spring-finger style attachment between fence
and cover. Custom designs offer unlimited possibilities for materials and
shapes. Product engineers can help you develop the best design for your
application.
