Board Level Shields and Contacts
This section covers the design engineering, prototyping, packaging automation, and quality assurance of board level shields and contacts. Laird Technologies employs advanced design systems for efficient part design, ensuring high performance and value.

Design Engineering
Engineers use Pro-Engineering/AutoCAD systems to create application-specific designs, considering factors like board layout and EMI shielding requirements to optimize performance.

Prototyped Parts
Prototyping is essential for product success, with Laird Technologies offering fast turnaround and precision manufacturing, along with pre-production support for quick production line setup.

Packaging Automation
The company provides various packaging options, such as tape and reel, tray, and bulk, ensuring low installation costs and compliance with EIA standards. Automation engineering facilitates efficient handling of small and complex contacts.

Quality Assurance
Laird Technologies is ISO 9001:2000 certified, emphasizing quality throughout production stages. They use automated SPC and CMM for quality control, ensuring high standards and traceability.

RoHS Compliance
All products comply with RoHS standards, ensuring environmental responsibility.

Standard Design Shields and Contacts
The document details various series of shields and contacts, including the 97-2000 series, offering flexibility in mounting styles and easy access to components. Standard shields are available in one-piece and two-piece designs, with various material and plating options for optimal performance.

Custom Design Shields and Contacts
Laird Technologies provides custom design options, including one-piece, two-piece, and multi-compartmental shields, tailored to meet specific application needs, ensuring high performance and reliability.

Specifications
The document lists specifications for one-piece and two-piece board level shield frames, detailing dimensions, tape width, tape pitch, and parts per reel. For example, the BMI-S-201-F has dimensions of 0.538 x 0.476 inches, a height of 0.100 inches, and is packaged with 1000 parts per reel.

Design Parameters
Key properties include co-planarity (<0.10 mm), solderability (>99% according to ANSI/JSTD-002 and MIL-STD-202 Method 208), and adhesion (passes ASTM B-571). Mechanical shock resistance is confirmed by LTES-461 testing.

Materials and Packaging
Shields are made from CRS Tin with a material thickness of 0.20 mm, packaged in carrier tapes made from LTIMS-LCB material, with reel diameters of 330 mm or 381 mm depending on the part number.

Applications
The shields are suitable for various electronic packages such as VQFP, QFP, PLCC, and BGA, providing effective shielding in small component areas.

EZ Peel Shields
These shields feature a removable cover for easy access to board components, reducing the need for de-soldering. They are available in four standard sizes and can be resealed with snap-in or dish covers.

Electronic Contacts
The document details standard precision electronic contacts made from BeCu with gold or tin plating, designed for grounding and energy carrying applications. They are available in various part numbers with different plating options and are packaged in tape and reel for efficient installation.

Specifications
The document outlines various electronic contact materials and their specifications, including BeCu (Beryllium Copper) and Spring Steel with different platings such as Tin and Gold. These materials are used for grounding and energy carrying, with specific energy capacities ranging from 1400 to 3500.

Standard Design Shields and Contacts
The document describes standard prototype parts available in one-piece and two-piece designs, manufactured to production tolerances with lead times typically less than two weeks. Shields are made from high-quality steel with a tin-plated surface for excellent solderability.

Custom Design Shields and Contacts
Laird Technologies offers custom shielding solutions to address EMI challenges, balancing space, weight, and production constraints. The company provides a proprietary in-line production process to ensure quality and performance from design to final packaging.

One-Piece and Two-Piece Shield Designs
One-piece shields offer economical solutions with six sides of protection, while two-piece shields allow for easy inspection and repair of shielded components. Two-piece designs are available pre-assembled or unassembled and are tested for durability and performance.

Material Variations
The document lists various materials used for surface mount shields, including CRS base box steel, Beryllium-copper alloys, Nickel-silver alloys, Copper-based alloys, Spring steel, and Phosphor Bronze alloys. Each material has specific thickness, heat treatment, and plating options.

EZ Peel Shield Design
EZ Peel shields provide economical access for low incidences of repairs, featuring an easy-to-remove top section for component access.

Drawn Board Level Shields
These shields address high-frequency leakage by eliminating apertures in corners, providing additional circuit isolation at higher frequencies.

Multi-Compartmental Shield Design
Designed to shield multiple circuit groups, these shields save PCB space and production time by replacing multiple single shields with one multi-compartmental shield.

Custom Precision Electronic Contacts
Laird Technologies offers custom precision surface mount contacts designed for maximum electrical and carrying performance. Various plating options are available to optimize operational performance.
