Laird Technologies announced the release of a new removable top board-level shield (BLS).
The patented ReCovr shield design incorporates the functionality of a two-piece shield without the need for a separate frame and cover. The shield is specially designed with a locking mechanism that allows for easy removal of the shield cover when access to board-level components within the shield is required. The locking mechanism makes repair of components under the shield quick and easy by eliminating the need for removing the entire shield and reducing board re-work. The removable top shield also integrates Laird’s patented rigid corner board-level shield technology, which incorporates a new corner design that optimises component rigidity for increased part and printed circuit board (PCB) firmness.
Snapping off the shield cover is accomplished by using a small starter hole. This hand operation requires minimal force using a hook scriber or tweezers. After repair, replacement or adjustment of internal components, the same shield cover is then snapped back on. ReCovr shields are available in select standard board-level sizes or custom configurations of length, width and height. They stay intact throughout manufacturing, packaging, shipping, installation and the solder process. Design options include ventilation holes, side cutouts, embossing and marking. The shields are rated to survive standard drop, shock and no-rattle tests.
