Abstract
A two-piece RF interference shield and method of manufacturing the same that is cost efficient and easily adapted for use with existing electrical devices. The RF shield includes a bottom portion mounted to the circuit board and a top portion which fits onto the bottom portion. The RF electrical interference shield can be mounted to circuit boards (e.g., by soldering) to prevent electrical components from causing RF interference. The RF shield of the present invention also allows for easy removal of the top of the RF shield so as to provide access to the interior for rework or repair of the electrical components covered by the shield, without having to unsolder the bottom portion of the shield. The two-piece shield for shielding an electrical component comprises a top portion and bottom portion that are fitted together so as to enclose the electrical components to be shielded. The top and bottom portions snap together, e.g., by way of barbs located on one of the portions that fit into corresponding holes or slots located on the other portion.
