Qiyiguo Technology, a professional Manufacturer and Supplier in China, provides high-precision Mobile Phone Mainboard EMI Shielding Cover, supporting customized stamping, surface treatment and SMT assembly matching. It solves 5G mobile high-frequency electromagnetic interference and EMC certification failure problems, serving consumer electronics manufacturers for mass procurement and sample customization.
The mobile phone mainboard EMI shielding cover is a critical electromagnetic shielding component for smartphone PCBs,
specifically engineered to address EMI issues in high-density integrated mainboards.
As smartphone mainboard integration levels rise characterized by the dense arrangement of baseband, RF, power
management, and memory chips, alongside the coexistence of 5G mmWave and Sub-6GHz signals issues such as signal
crosstalk, power noise radiation, and external EMI intrusion frequently arise. These problems directly impact call
quality, network stability, and EMC certification success rates.
Qiyiguo Technology's self-developed, mass-produced EMI shielding covers utilize precision metal forming and tiered
material selection to create a stable Faraday cage structure. Balancing broadband electromagnetic isolation with a
slim, lightweight design, these covers are essential components for the compliant mass production and performance
enhancement of consumer electronic devices.
Core Functions and Specific Application Scenarios
1. Core Functional Principles
A complete Faraday cage shielding cavity is formed using a conductive metal housing. This structure contains EMI
noise generated by chip operations while blocking interference from complex external electromagnetic environments.
This bidirectional protection ensures the stable operation of various functional modules on the mainboard at the
hardware level.
2. Precise Application Scenarios
- Baseband chip area shielding: Prevents baseband signal interference from noise, ensuring stable calls and basic
network connectivity.
- RF Front-End Module (FEM) shielding: Isolates high-frequency RF signals to prevent leakage, attenuation, and
crosstalk.
- Power Management Unit (PMU) shielding: Suppresses power noise radiation and prevents voltage fluctuations from
interfering with nearby precision circuits.
- WiFi/Bluetooth module shielding: Ensures signal purity for wireless transmission and improves short-range
communication stability.
- Multi-band antenna isolation: Mitigates signal interference between multiple antennas, enhancing the device's
overall signal reception and transmission performance.
Industry Pain Points and Product Value
1. Challenges of Electromagnetic Crosstalk in High-Density Mainboards
Smartphone mainboards feature extremely compact layouts with concentrated high-frequency modules. Conventional
shielding structures often fail to provide precise isolation, leading to inter-module signal interference. This
results in issues such as network lag, background noise during calls, and abnormal power consumption. This shielding
cover employs targeted zonal shielding to precisely block internal signal crosstalk and noise radiation.
2. Challenges in Shielding for 5G High-Frequency Bands
The coexistence of dual frequency bands in 5G devices significantly raises requirements for shielding bandwidth and
precision; standard shielding components often fail to meet full-band isolation needs, frequently leading to EMC
test failures.
This product supports both mmWave and Sub-6GHz dual-band environments, providing stable wide-band shielding that
helps devices pass electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing on the first attempt.
3. Balancing Thinness/Lightness with Shielding Performance
As terminal devices evolve toward ultra-thin and lightweight designs, traditional thick shielding structures add bulk
and weight, conflicting with product design requirements.
The Mobile Phone Mainboard EMI Shielding Cover utilizes ultra-thin, precision-engineered sheet metal (0.1–0.3 mm),
accommodating slim device architectures without compromising shielding effectiveness.
Tiered Material Selection and Scenario-Specific Adaptation
We have established a differentiated material selection strategy based on the shielding requirements, cost budgets,
and operating environments of various mobile phone functional modules:
1. Nickel Silver (C7521)
Offers excellent conductivity and shielding effectiveness exceeding 60–80 dB, with outstanding high-frequency
performance. It is specifically suited for high-frequency precision modules—such as 5G RF, Wi-Fi, and
Bluetooth—making it the premier choice for shielding critical areas in high-end smartphones.
2. Stainless Steel (SUS304/SUS430)
Features high structural strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and resistance to deformation. It provides
superior structural support, making it ideal for peripheral motherboard areas that require rigidity and deformation
resistance, effectively withstanding minor compression or distortion during manufacturing, assembly, and daily use.
3. Galvanized Steel Sheet
Offers significant cost-performance advantages and stable basic shielding capabilities. It is suitable for
mid-to-low-end consumer electronics and standard functional module shielding, making it an ideal choice for
high-volume, cost-controlled mass production projects.

FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between a shielding cover and a shielding clip/can?
A1: A shielding cover is a one-piece metal housing that forms a complete Faraday cage enclosure over an entire PCB
zone or module, providing comprehensive electromagnetic isolation. Shielding clips or cans are smaller components
used for grounding paths or covering individual components. Shielding covers offer broader area protection and are
typically used for baseband, RF front-end, and power management zones on smartphone mainboards.
Q2: What material should I choose for my Mobile Phone Mainboard EMI Shielding Cover?
A2: Selection depends on your frequency band and cost target. Nickel silver (C7521) offers the best high-frequency
shielding (60–80 dB) for 5G RF and Wi-Fi modules. Stainless steel (SUS304/SUS430) provides high structural strength
and deformation resistance for peripheral areas. Galvanized steel offers the best cost-performance for high-volume,
budget-controlled projects. We provide free material recommendations based on your specific frequency requirements.
Q3: Can shielding covers be used with automated SMT assembly lines?
A3: Yes. Our shielding covers are designed for standard SMT reflow soldering compatibility. We support nickel plating
for oxidation resistance and solderability, and tin plating for minimizing cold solder joints. The covers are
supplied in tape-and-reel packaging compatible with high-speed pick-and-place machines, fully integrating into your
existing SMT production line without additional manual handling steps.
Q4: What shielding effectiveness can your covers achieve for 5G mmWave bands?
A4: Our standard shielding covers achieve 60–100 dB shielding effectiveness, customizable based on frequency bands
and material selection. For 5G mmWave and Sub-6GHz dual-band environments, we optimize material thickness and
structural design to ensure stable broadband isolation, helping devices pass FCC Part 15 and CE-RED EMC tests on the
first attempt.
Q5: What is the minimum material thickness achievable for ultra-slim phones?
A5: We support ultra-thin material thicknesses from 0.1mm to 0.3mm, accommodating the slim profile requirements of
modern smartphones. Despite the thin gauge, our precision stamping process maintains dimensional tolerances of
±0.05mm, ensuring structural integrity and consistent shielding performance without compromising device thickness.
Q6: Do you provide third-party shielding effectiveness test reports?
A6: Yes. We provide third-party laboratory test reports verifying shielding effectiveness across frequency bands. All
products comply with international EMC standards including FCC Part 15, CE-RED, and CISPR 32. Each batch includes a
