EMI/RFI Shielding - Autosplice

EMI/RFI Shielding: Autosplice



Notes:
  • Limited number of insertion cycles, clips will loose retention strength after the shields are pulled off and replaced.
  • Pads and soldermask need to be tightly defined to accurately register the clips during reflow soldering. 
  • Place covers on after testing and rework have been completed to minimize insertion cycles.
