An electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding apparatus comprising:
- a frame including one or more sidewalls configured for installation to a substrate generally about one or more components on the substrate;
- and
- a pickup member including a pickup area and one or more arms each extending generally between the pickup area and a corresponding one of the one or more sidewalls of the frame, each said arm including an end portion connected to a corresponding portion of the frame by at least two connections spaced apart from each other with an opening therebetween defined by the end portion of the arm and the corresponding portion of the frame, each said connection configured to have a material thickness less than a material thickness of the corresponding arm and/or less than a material thickness of the corresponding portion of the frames;
- wherein:
- the frame includes an eve that extends inwardly from and along a perimeter defined by the one or more sidewalls of the frame;
- and
- each said arm is connected to a corresponding portion of the eve by at least two of said connections.
