Patent attributes
According to various aspects of the present disclosure, exemplary embodiments are provided of shielding apparatus that are suitable for use in providing electromagnetic interference shielding for one or more electrical components on a substrate. The shielding apparatus may have partially drawn and partially formed corner sections for improved rigidity. In one exemplary embodiment, a shielding apparatus generally includes side walls configured to be disposed generally about one or more electrical components on a substrate. Corner sections are integrally formed with the side walls. Each corner section has a drawn portion integrally connecting a corresponding pair of side walls, and a lower portion located generally below the drawn portion and generally between side edge portions of the corresponding pair of side walls.
