FEATURES

3G offer a variety of through-hole and surface mount attachment methods to securely bond the board level shield to the circuit board. Locating pins are placed on the bottom of the shield frame and mate to holes on the PCB. Locating pins are required for wave solder application but are also recommended for surface mount applications.

Additional Standard Design Features.

Tuning Holes

Trace Relief

Ventilation holes can be added to any shield cover or frame wall. 3G’s standard vent hole pattern uses an 0.100” diameter holes, but they are available in 0.080”, 0.060”, 0.040” diameter holes and the patterns can be varied to meet the customer’s requirement.

Ventilation Holes

3G Shielding Specialties offers several standard corner options to choose from depending on your frequencies and application requirements.
