Abstract
A shield casing, which is configured to surround an electronic component mounted on a circuit board, includes a frame body including an engagement recess and a lid body including a hook unit configured to engage with the engagement recess. The lid body is fitted to the frame body to cover the frame body. The hook unit is elastically deformable in a second direction that is opposite to a first direction in which the lid body is fitted to the frame body as the lid body is fitted to the frame body, and then snaps into mating engagement in the engagement recess.
Claims21
A shield casing configured to surround an electronic component mounted on a circuit board, the shield casing comprising:
- a frame body having at least one engagement recess;
- and
- a lid body having a hook unit configured to engage with the engagement recess, the lid body being fitted to the frame body and covering the frame body with the hook unit engaged in the engagement recess;
- wherein at least part of the hook unit is elastically deformable in a second direction when the lid body is fitted to the frame body, the second direction being opposite to a first direction in which the lid body is fitted to the frame body,
- the lid body has a cover member which extends over the frame body and includes a cut section, and the hook unit has a first portion extending from the cover member generally in the first direction, a second portion extending from the first portion in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a latch claw extending from the second portion inwardly, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the second portion, and the latch claw extending along the cut section and including an inclined end portion.
An electronic apparatus, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- an electronic component mounted on the circuit board;
- and
- a shield casing on the circuit board, surrounding the electronic component;
- the shield casing comprising a frame body extending around electronic component, the frame body having at least one engagement recess, and a lid body fitted to the frame body to cover the electronic component, the lid body comprising a cover member facing the electronic component and at least one hook unit depending from the cover member and in latching engagement with the engagement recess, at least part of the hook unit being elastically deformable as the lid body is attached to the frame body,
- the cover member including a cut section and the hook unit including a first portion extending from the cover member generally in a first direction, a second portion extending from the first portion in a direction perpendicular to the first direction, and a latch claw extending from the second portion inwardly, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the second portion, and the latch claw extending along the cut section and including an inclined end portion.
