Abstract
An improved connecting terminal for an electromagnetic shield is provided for use with a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board is contained in a shielded casing having shielding walls to define compartments. The connecting terminal makes an electric connection between the ground pattern, the shielded inside and shielding walls of the shielded casing, thereby preventing an electromagnetic field from interfering with surrounding electric circuits. The connecting terminal comprises an elongated base strip having an undersurface to be soldered to a selected portion of the ground pattern and a pair of inwardly directed contact arms integrally connected to the opposite ends of the elongated base strip. Each contact arm makes contact with the shielded inside and shielding walls of the casing.
