Abstract

Abstract In a method for shielding electronics, a plurality of components to be shielded are arranged on a part of an assembly base to be shielded, each of the plurality of components having a first side including a first contact surface connectable to a common earth connection of the assembly base, each of the plurality of components further having a second contact surface, the plurality of components being arranged such that, for each of the plurality of components, the first side with the first contact surface faces out toward a periphery of the part of the assembly base. For each of the plurality of components, the first contact surface is connected to the earth connection. The plurality of components are shielded with a shielding device. For each of the plurality of components, the first contact surface is closer to the shielding device than the second contact surface.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 148 words
A method for shielding electronics, comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of components to be shielded on a part of an assembly base to be shielded, each of the plurality of components having a first side including a first contact surface connectable to a common earth connection of the assembly base, each of the plurality of components further having a second contact surface, the plurality of components being arranged such that, for each of the plurality of components, the first side with the first contact surface faces out toward a periphery of the part of the assembly base; for each of the plurality of components, connecting the first contact surface directly to the earth connection; shielding the plurality of components with a shielding device, wherein, for each of the plurality of components, the first contact surface is closer to the shielding device than the second contact surface.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 148 words
A method for shielding electronics, comprising the steps of: arranging a plurality of components to be shielded on a part of an assembly base to be shielded, each of the plurality of components having a first side including a first contact surface connectable to a common earth connection of the assembly base, each of the plurality of components further having a second contact surface, the plurality of components being arranged such that, for each of the plurality of components, the first side with the first contact surface faces out toward a periphery of the part of the assembly base; for each of the plurality of components, connecting the first contact surface directly to the earth connection; shielding the plurality of components with a shielding device, wherein, for each of the plurality of components, the first contact surface is closer to the shielding device than the second contact surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 37 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 87 words
The method according to claim 2 , wherein one or more additional components, each of the additional components having a first contact surface connectable to the earth connection, are disposed outside the part of the assembly base, the method comprising the further steps of, for each of the additional components, connecting the first contact surface to the earth connection and, for each of the additional components, arranging the additional component such that its first contact surface faces toward the periphery of the part of the assembly base.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 43 words
The method according to claim 3 , wherein each of the plurality of additional components has a first side that is disposed at a second predetermined minimum distance from any other one of the plurality of components and the plurality of additional components.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 29 words
The method according to claim 4 , wherein the step of shielding the plurality of components by the shielding device includes soldering the shielding device to the assembly base.
Claim 7
