Portable Electronic Device Component Shielding

摘要

A more efficient component shielding system is provided for a portable electronic device. The system includes a metal shield covering multiple electronic components on the device PCB, including two or more electronic components requiring shielding. The metal shield includes a top portion and one or more descending side walls encompassing the periphery of the metal shield except at one or more edges where the metal shield contacts the housing. In addition, one or more internal walls attached to the shield top portion form internal walls separating the two or more electronic components requiring shielding from one another. In an embodiment, a plurality of spring clips soldered to the PCB are used to hold the side walls and internal walls to the PCB.

主权项

1. A component shielding system for a portable electronic device comprising:
a metal housing; a printed circuit board (PCB) within the housing; a plurality of electronic components on a surface of the PCB, including two or more electronic components requiring shielding; a single metal shield covering the plurality of electronic components, the metal shield having a top portion and one or more descending side walls, the one or more descending side walls encompassing a periphery of the metal shield except at one or more edges where the metal shield contacts the housing; and one or more internal walls descending from the top portion of the metal shield toward the PCB, the one or more internal walls separating the two or more electronic components under the single metal shield requiring shielding from one another.
