The patented “Easy Access” RF shield from Photofabrication Engineering, Inc. (PEI) incorporates an etched slot that is straight or staggered to minimize RF leakage. The tab connecting the lid to the RF shield can be easily snipped for access and then can be re-soldered in seconds for minimal downtime. Covers are manufactured from SAE 1010 with solder plating and can be bent several times without fracturing. PEI’s patented CDW (controlled depth width) is etched on one side to allow the cover to be raised and lowered without the metal fatigue problems found in brass and copper. Also, a patented removable cover can be incorporated into a customer’s existing shield design at no charge for either tooling or engineering.Learn more about the “Easy Access” and other shielding options at the PEI website.
