Abstract
Particular embodiments described herein provide for an electronic device that can be configured to include a support structure that includes a radiation shield groove that extends past a surface of the support structure and into the support structure, a radiation source on the substrate, and a radiation shield around the radiation source, where the radiation shield includes a wall secured to the support structure and a groove channel coupling wall that extends past a surface of the support structure and into the radiation shield groove.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a support structure that includes a radiation shield groove that extends past a surface of the support structure and into the support structure;
- a radiation source disposed on the support structure;
- and
- a radiation shield surrounding the radiation source, wherein the radiation shield includes a wall secured to the support structure and a groove channel coupling wall that extends past the surface of the support structure and into the radiation shield groove,
- wherein the groove channel coupling wall includes a groove coupling portion at its distal end angled outwardly from the radiation shield, and an angled configuration directing the groove channel coupling wall away from the radiation shield such that, when the groove coupling portion is engaged within the radiation shield groove, the groove channel coupling wall is biased towards the radiation shield, creating a force that presses the groove coupling portion against an outer edge of the radiation shield groove to secure the radiation shield in a fixed plane relative to the support structure.
2 more elements
A radiation shield comprising:
- a first wall that is secured to a surface of a support structure;
- a second wall, opposite the first wall, that is secured to the surface of the support structure;
- a first groove channel coupling wall that extends past the surface of the support structure and into a first radiation shield groove;
- and
- a second groove channel coupling wall, opposite the first groove channel coupling wall, that extends past the surface of the support structure and into a second radiation shield groove,
- wherein each of the first and second groove channel coupling walls includes a groove coupling portion at its distal end angled outwardly, and an angled configuration directing the respective groove channel coupling wall outwardly such that, when the groove coupling portion is engaged within the respective radiation shield groove, the respective groove channel coupling wall is biased inwardly, creating a force that presses the groove coupling portion against an outer edge of the respective radiation shield groove to secure the radiation shield in a fixed plane relative to the support structure.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- identifying a radiation source on a printed circuit board;
- creating a first radiation shield groove in a surface of the printed circuit board;
- creating a second radiation shield groove in the surface of the printed circuit board;
- and
- creating a radiation shield to mitigate radiation effects from the radiation source, wherein the radiation shield includes:
- a first wall that is secured to the surface of the printed circuit board;
- a second wall, opposite the first wall, that is secured to the surface of the printed circuit board;
- a first groove channel coupling wall that extends past the surface of the printed circuit board and into the first radiation shield groove;
- and
- a second groove channel coupling wall, opposite the first groove channel coupling wall, that extends past the surface of the printed circuit board and into the second radiation shield groove,
- wherein each of the first and second groove channel coupling walls includes a groove coupling portion at its distal end angled outwardly, and an angled configuration directing the respective groove channel coupling wall away from the radiation shield such that, when the groove coupling portion is engaged within the respective radiation shield groove, the respective groove channel coupling wall is biased towards the radiation shield, creating a force that presses the groove coupling portion against an outer edge of the respective radiation shield groove to secure the radiation shield in a fixed plane relative to the support structure.
