PCB Component EMI Shielding & Grounding Contacts
Shielding at the PCB component level with Board Level Shields (BLS) is the most cost-effective EMI shielding solution. For PCB grounding needs, Laird offers two different portfolios of SMD Grounding Contacts:
- Metal SMD Contacts
- Soft or Foam-Based SMD Contacts.
The application requirements will drive the type of SMD contact to utilize.
Laird provides many off the shelf standard BLS and SMD Grounding parts that require no upfront tooling costs and inventory is readily available at many distributors for quick-turn prototyping.

PCB Component EMI Shielding & Grounding Contacts Groups
Board Level Shields
Managing electromagnetic interference requires protection that effectively considers space, weight and application constraints. Whether you need a one-piece, two-piece or a custom BLS, our shields provide isolation of board level components.
Metal SMD Contacts
Bridge large gaps. Thin strip metal solutions for high frequency EMI shielding and grounding are ideal for situations where large gaps must be bridged and low compression force is required. Made of Beryllium Copper, our contacts are RoHS compliant.
Soft SMD Contacts
Complete circuit grounding the soft way. Foam cored, soft SMD foam contacts are designed with a metalized polyimide film outer covering. Our circuit grounding solution are solder reflow compatible and suitable for automatic processing.
