Abstract

A two part EMI/RFI shielded container for electrical components includes a transporter which has a metal layer on its inner surface. The transporter is generally tubular in shape when closed, and at least one foldable tab is formed on the transporter to expose the metal layer to the outside when the tab is bent back. The container also includes a sleeve sized to receive the transporter. The sleeve defines a metal layer on its inner surface, which is brought into electrical contact with the tab of the transporter when the transporter is slid into the sleeve. Two ends of a blank are joined together to form the sleeve, and one of these ends is folded back on itself in order to place the metal layer of the sleeve into low resistance electrical contact across the joint.
