Abstract

Abstract The invention relates to an RF-shielded hybrid circuit which comprises a printed circuit board (1) of an insulating mate­rial, with foils on both sides, components placed on one side of the printed circuit board, and an RF-shield housing (5) made of metal sheet and fitted around at least part of the circuit. It is the object of the invention to provide an RF-shield which can be manufactured automatically and which at the same time ensures a relatively simple and compact structure. In order to achieve this, the RF-shield for the circuit is made up on the one hand of a cup-like cover (5) the peripheral area of which extends sub­stantially around the edge of the printed circuit board (1), with the exception of the area of the connectors (2) of the printed circuit board, and which is placed over the components, and on the other hand of an earth foil (2a) which faces away from the components of the printed circuit board and is soldered by its edge to the peri­pheral area (5a) of the cover (5).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 140 words
An RF-shielded hybrid board which comprises a printed circuit board (1) of an insulating material, with foils on both sides, components placed on one side of the printed circuit board, and an RF-shield housing formed of metal sheet and fitted around at least part of the circuit, char­acterized in that the RF-shield of the circuit is made up on the one hand of a cup-like cover (5) the peripheral area of which extends substantially around the edge of the printed circuit board (1), with the exception of the area of the connectors in the printed circuit board, and which is placed over the components, and on the other hand of an earth foil (2a), facing away from the components of the printed circuit board, which has been soldered by its edge to the peripheral area (5a) of the cover (5).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 140 words
An RF-shielded hybrid board which comprises a printed circuit board (1) of an insulating material, with foils on both sides, components placed on one side of the printed circuit board, and an RF-shield housing formed of metal sheet and fitted around at least part of the circuit, char­acterized in that the RF-shield of the circuit is made up on the one hand of a cup-like cover (5) the peripheral area of which extends substantially around the edge of the printed circuit board (1), with the exception of the area of the connectors in the printed circuit board, and which is placed over the components, and on the other hand of an earth foil (2a), facing away from the components of the printed circuit board, which has been soldered by its edge to the peripheral area (5a) of the cover (5).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 62 words
A hybrid circuit according to Claim 1, characterized in that in the edge (5a) of the peripheral area of the cover (5) there have been made two or more notches (7, 8) which mate with corresponding protrusions (3, 4) in the printed circuit board in order to determine the position of the printed circuit board (1) in relation to the cover (5).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words
A hybrid circuit according to Claim 1, characterized in that in the area of the connector pins (2) there has been made a notch (6) in the peripheral area of the cover (5), the depth of the notch exceeding the thickness of the printed circuit board (1).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 57 words
A hybrid circuit according to Claim 3, characterized in that the connectors, i.e. legs, of the circuit consist of projections (2) in the edge of the printed circuit board, the projections extending beyond the cover (5) and having each on one side the earth conductor (2a) and on the other side at least one conducting conductor (2b).
