Abstract
The edge shields disclosed herein utilize a plated edge surface of a PCB to form one or more sides of an electronic shield to reduce the amount of top surface area of the PCB occupied by the electronic shield. More specifically, an edge shield lid is mechanically attached to the plated edge surface to remove a need for solder overprint at the edge of the PCB. The edge shield lid is soldered, welded, adhered, or mechanically attached to edge walls where there is no available edge surface for attachment.
