Abstract
An electrical shield is disclosed for shielding a conductor. The shield includes a top wall having an opening formed therein for the conductor. A first wall, integrally formed with the top wall includes first and second panels. One edge of the first panel is attached to the top wall and one edge of the second panel is attached to the first panel. A lead is integrally formed with the first panel. A second wall is also integrally formed with the top wall, so that a cavity is defined by the top wall, the first and second panels and the second wall. In a preferred embodiment, the shield further includes third, fourth and fifth walls, integrally formed with the top wall. The third wall includes third and fourth panels, wherein one edge of the third panel is attached to the top wall and wherein one edge of the fourth panel is attached to the third panel. In such an embodiment, a second cavity is defined by the top wall and the second, third and fourth panels and a third cavity is defined by the top wall, the fourth panel, the fourth wall and the fifth wall. Since the cavities each include only three walls, however, when several shields are positioned in abutting relationship to one anoth…
