# BMI-S-203-F (Component)
## Description
RF Shield Frame 1.032" (26.21mm) X 1.032" (26.21mm) Surface Mount The BMI-S-203-F is a surface-mount EMI shield frame (part of a board-level shielding system) manufactured by Laird (now part of DuPont Performance Materials). It is used to enclose and isolate sensitive components on a PCB, helping prevent signal interference and improving electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
It typically comes as a one-piece or frame-style shield that is soldered directly onto the PCB, forming a metallic “cage” over critical circuits.
