Prototype PCB shielding cans are used in the early stages of shield production design. The purpose of these prototype samples is to validate the concept, functionality, and user experience of the product, allowing for improvements in further development and production. PCB shielding typically involves metal shield covers or frames made from tin plate or nickel silver, which are used to reduce or eliminate electromagnetic radiation generated by the equipment, or to prevent external electromagnetic waves from entering the device.

1. No mold cost
2. Shorten the development cycle – can be completed in 2-3 days at the earliest
3. Verify the prototype design – by making prototype samples, engineers can verify whether the design is effective at an early stage and make necessary adjustments.
4. Reduce the minimum order quantity and start production with one
5. Quickly optimize the design, quickly adjust the plan and test it – engineers can evaluate the effect of the shielding cover, determine whether it can effectively reduce electromagnetic interference, and whether further optimization of the design or material selection is needed
6. Provide reliable data support and optimization of mold structure for batch production – through the production and testing of prototype samples, enterprises can better understand the manufacturing process and material cost of the shielding cover
7. Prototype samples can also be used to show customers to get their feedback

Tinplate – low cost, easy to process, good solderability, but the surface is easy to rust

Nickel Silver – good corrosion resistance, excellent soldering performance, smooth surface, good heat sink , high cost

Stainless steel – cannot be directly solder, needs to be used with shielding clips, good corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance

Ternary alloy – good shielding effect, high temperature resistance, stable electrical properties, excellent soldering performance, high cost

Cold rolled plate – the lowest cost, needs to be electroplated before use, not recommended

Etching – high cost, high product precision, comparable to mass-produced products

Laser – medium cost, lower product precision than etching, usually used for products with less demanding requirements

Wire cutting – lowest cost and fastest, low product precision, unclean surface

Small CNC – fast, efficient, high cost, suitable for small quantities

Soft tooling – will incur some tooling costs, suitable for prototype samples with a large number of samples, and better consistency

Product precision +/-0.01mm, bending angle +/-0.10

The fastest delivery time is 1 day – by using laser cutting and small CNC bending equipment, the delivery of prototype samples can be completed within 1 day Conventional 7-day – after cutting by etching or laser wire cutting, it is made using a simple fixture

Tray packaging – can effectively protect products from shock, vibration and pollution, and prevent damage during transportation and storage

Plastic bag packaging – some larger products are packaged in simple plastic bags

Reel and Tape – prototype samples are generally not recommended to use reel and tape , which is costly and takes a long time to customize.

1-20 prototype samples for simple testing

100 for testing and producing small batches of prototypes

500-3000 for small batch production without the need to open a mold

Product size

Material selection—The cost of using ternary alloy materials will be higher than that of nickel silver and tinplate

Structure—The folding frame structure is simpler and faster, while the stretching requires the calculation of stretching data and the cost will be higher

Quantity—The quantity will affect the cost of the product
