Shield case, connector and electronic equipment

Abstract

The present invention provides a shield case having electrical conductivity and being mountable on a circuit board. The shield case includes a first surface adapted to be placed on the circuit board and a second surface provided continuously with the first surface and extending at an angle or at a right angle with respect to the first surface. A first recess of generally U-shape is provided in a boundary area of the first surface with the second surface and including first and second end portions. A pair of second recesses is provided in a boundary area of the second surface with the first surface and communicating with the first and second end portions of the first recess. The shield case also includes a pad, being defined by the first and second recesses and connectable by soldering to an electrode of the circuit board.
