Claims22
A board level shielding apparatus comprising:
- one or more sidewalls defining an open top and configured for installation to a substrate generally about one or more components on the substrate;
- and
- a cover attachable to the one or more sidewalls for covering the open top, the cover including at least one see-through portion;
- whereby the shielding apparatus is operable for providing board level shielding for one or more components on a substrate when the one or more components are within an interior cooperatively defined by the one or more sidewalls and the cover is attached to the one or more sidewalls, and whereby the see-through portion of the cover allows the one or more components to be optically inspected and/or viewed through the see-through portion without having to remove the cover from the one or more sidewalls.
A cover for a board level shielding apparatus for use in providing board level EMI shielding for one or more components on a substrate, the cover configured for covering an open top of the shielding apparatus, the cover including at least one see-through portion, whereby the see-through portion of the cover allows an interior defined by the shielding apparatus and components within the interior to be optically inspected and/or viewed through the see-through portion without having to remove the cover.
