Intro to CBS
Circuit Board Shields (CBS) Using Standard Modular “off-the-shelf” Fence and Covers.
It’s Our Legacy!
EMI designers demand extremely tight circuit board shields to prevent
EMI/RFI radiation and susceptibility. This CBS Circuit Board Shielding
Design Guide features multiple design variations of Leader Tech’s
patented two-piece construction with a solderable fence and removable
cover, considered by designers to have the strongest cover retention in
the industry. It provides protection for sensitive components while allowing
your technician access to adjust and repair.
Leader Tech provides EMI designers flexibility and cost-effective custom
solutions. This is achieved by stocking a large variety of standard “off-the-
shelf” fence options, which can be formed and combined with a cover to
create a fully custom design. Additional features such as special cutouts,
vent holes, insulating materials and other special requirements, can be
added to create the right Circuit Board Shield for your application. Avoid
long lead-times and expensive custom tooling by reviewing these EMI
shielding innovations and selecting the right one for your next application.
You will find that Leader Tech’s product diversity includes simple one-
piece shields to more complicated multi-cavity shields using a variety of
through-hole and surface mounting options.

Shielding at the Source
Diverse board-level shielding solutions for all electronic applications
Leader Tech is not a one-product-fits-all company. We
are innovators focused on constant improvement and
refinement of proven product platforms and manufacturing
methods. This allows us to deliver cost-effective shielding
solutions that solve EMI problems for both current and
emerging electronic applications.
From small footprints and low-profile applications to multi-
level board designs, we offer a wide selection of standard,
modified standard and custom board level shielding
products to fit your exact specifications.
Four of the Leader Tech’s most popular product lines are
described below. Additionally, the product comparison
chart allows for “at-a-glance” comparisons of all design
options.
Leader Tech Standard CBS
Simply one of the best shields ever made.
Multi-Cavity designs
When space, weight and costs are all design priorities.
Our flexible CBS and Slot Lok design and manufacturing
processes allow engineers to effectively isolate multiple
components using the same shield. The custom designed
product typically incorporates multiple internal cavities that
share connecting walls and a single cover. This allows for
a reduction in shield weight and occupied board space.
Slot-Lok™ Shields
As close to custom as you can get…without the cost!
Slot-Lok™ shields are designed and manufactured using
proprietary methods that increase shield design flexibility
while reducing lead time and total product cost. If you
need a cost-effective shielding solution with near limitless
design flexibility, Slot-Lok™ is the option of choice.
Custom shielding solutions
If you can describe it, we can manufacture it.
Our standard CBS products lead the board-level shielding
industry in performance, flexibility and value. The highly
reliable 2-piece design (fence and cover) accommodates
virtually any through-hole or surface mount application.
Decades of engineering and manufacturing experience
provide you with the ultimate board level shielding flexibility.
From 3D modeling, material selection and prototyping to high
volume production, we are with you every step of the way.
