Harwin has broadened the range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips it offers with the launch of its Maxi Clip, which handles protective cans with wall thicknesses of between 0.028 and 0.04in.
The new Maxi clips compliment Harwin’s Midi clips which handle cans with a wall thickness of 0.012in and its Mini series devices which save PCB space and handle cans with a wall thickness of between 0.005 and 0.009in. Supplied in industry-standard Tape & Reel packaging, Harwin’s EMI/RFI clips are targeted at telecoms, datacoms, data processing and in-car entertainment systems. According to the company, the new clips have proved successful in helping to protect sensitive ICs used in diverse applications such as the Bowman Military radio project and automotive SatNav and DVD players.
In PCB applications, Harwin maintains that the use of clips reduces assembly time and simplifies rework. Rather than hand-soldering shielding cans to a PCB as a secondary operation, cans are simply be pressed into clips which have been placed during the main automated surface mount assembly processing. Not only does this save time, it also reduces errors and scrap, and enables sensitive components to be inspected and, if necessary, lifted and replaced more easily.

Harwin Adds Larger Size SMT Shield Clips to Handle Wider Range of RFI Protective Cans
Time-Saving, Simple Devices Feature in New Animation
SALEM, N.H.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Harwin, the leading manufacturer of connectors and interconnect solutions for high-reliability applications, has broadened the range of surface mount EMI/RFI shield clips it offers with the launch of its Maxi Clip, which handles protective cans with wall thicknesses of between 0.028 and 0.04in.
The use of clips reduces assembly time and simplifies rework. Rather than hand-soldering shielding cans to a PCB as a secondary operation, cans are simply be pressed into clips which have been placed during the main automated surface mount assembly processing. Not only does this save time, it also reduces errors and scrap, and enables sensitive components to be inspected and, if necessary, lifted and replaced much more easily.
Comments Product Manager Dave Humpreys: “To demonstrate the simplicity of these new clips, we have produced a short animation which shows how they enable users to realise savings during both initial production and rework.”
The new Maxi clips compliment Harwin’s Midi clips which handle cans with a wall thickness of 0.012in and its Mini series devices which save PCB space and handle cans with a wall thickness of between 0.005 and 0.009in.
