Abstract
This disclosure relates to a two-piece shield comprising a fence having integrally formed sidewalls and an upper frame, and a lid. The lid attaches to the fence, which is attached to the circuit board. The fence is a relatively thick, flexible material for supporting the lid. The fence has a recess so that the lid can be recessed into the fence to position the lid closer to the circuit for enhanced heat absorption. The lid could be made of a thicker heat absorbing material than the fence, again to facilitate heat absorption. The lid can be press-fit into the recess of the fence. The fence and lid can have a dovetail configuration to retain the lid in the fence.

A two-piece electromagnetic radiation and heat dissipation shield for electrical components, comprising:
- a fence formed of aluminum plated with a solderable material, the fence having sidewalls and an upper frame forming an enclosure surrounding electrical components, the upper frame having a top wall, an interior wall depending from the top wall and defining a recess, and a shelf extending from the interior wall and offset from the top wall, the shelf having a continuous top surface and an inner edge defining an aperture;
- a lid formed of aluminum plated with a solderable material, the lid sized and shaped to be received within the recess and on the shelf;
- and
- the lid soldered to the continuous top surface of the shelf of the fence.
