Fixed PCB shielding cans

EMI screening covers (SMD shielding cans) for PCB’s were developed to shield only certain parts of electronic equipment from electromagnetic radiation at the source, rather than all components in the entire housing.

EMI shielding cans are available in a wide range of sizes and types. Whether it is for a small number of prototypes or large quantities, we can manufacture the precision components that you require.

1510 series Fixed PCB shielding cans VS 1500 series clip-on PCB shielding cans

Our 1500 series Clip-on PCB shielding cans combines small pins or clips with a removable lid (PCB shielding can), resulting in good quality EMI/RFI shielding.

However, some customers would like a slightly more economic solution than the clip-on PCB shielding system and then move to PCB shielding covers without clip-on system. This system is called Fixed PCB shielding cans since the cans are fixed to the PCB with conductive glue or solder.

Furthermore customers choose this way of attachment because the can will be more firmly secured to the PCB than by using the 1510 series clip -on system. This is, for example, necessary when it comes to devices with very heavy vibrations and movements.

1515 series (with removable lid)

The 1515 has the same properties as the 1510 series. The lid has a removable top cover. This makes it easier to acces the parts on the PCB for service. The product is available in copper and tinned copper, with or without cooling holes.

Mounting

Fixed PCB shielding cans, can be provided with teeth so that the can can be glued to the PCB (mounting method T) or with pins for mounting through the PCB (mounting method P).

If you require a relatively large PCB shielding can, we recommend to go for the 1500 series clip -on system since it is very difficult to glue relatively large PCB shielding cans on the PCB without deformation of the can and with a good seal (no openings along the edges).

Copper or tinned copper version

Our 1510 and 1515 series fixed PCB shielding cans are available in both copper and tin-plated copper. The tinned copper version facilitates the soldering process.

Standard Fixed PCB shielding cans Part numbers

Below is a technical drawing of a 1510 series Fixed PCB shielding cans. The distance between the teeth varies, and is dependent on the size of the side. For example, a side of 40 mm has 5 teeth and a side of 25 mm has 3 teeth. The standard height of a teeth is 1 mm.

PCB shielding cans order example

Please keep in mind: dimensions you specify are outside dimensions. Thickness of the material is standard 0.12 mm, optionally 0.18 mm or 0.20 mm. For example, when you order a 1510 - 1515 series Clip-on shielding can in 0.12 mm Mu-copper of 10-20-5 mm, the inside dimensions will be 9.76-19.76-4.88 mm. The standard height of a teeth is 1 mm.
