ELECTRICAL~Y SHIELDING
Field of the Invention This invention relates to electrically shielding, and more particularly, in preferred embodlments, to the coaxlal ~hielding of sprlng pins.
Backaround of the Invention The desirablllty of shleldlng elements of electrlcal clrcults, ln approprlate lnstances, ls well known. Coaxially shlelded ~prlng plns for u6e ln connectlon wlth prlnted circuit boards ("PCB~") are known.
Su-marY of the Invention I have discovered that coaxlal 6hieldlng may be provlded, reliably, at low expense and consi6tently wlth hlgh ~hlelded element denslty, by provldlng an lnsulator base having shlelded element and groundlng element mountlng holes, the lnner wall of a grounding element mountlng hole belng ln conductlve electrlcal communlcatlon with a shield around a shlelded element mountlng hole and spaced therefrom by lnsulatlng materlal.
Accordlng to a broad aspect of the lnventlon there ls 0 provlded an electrlcally shleldlng devlce which comprises~
a base, said base belng formed of in~ulating materlal and havlng thereln a shleldJng hole and a shleld connectlng hole, . sald ~hleldlng hole havlng posltioned thereln a metalllc shleld therearound, ~ 1 an insulator wlthin ~aid shield, and an element hole in said insulator, and said shield connecting hole having positioned therein an electrically conductive layer, said layer being in electrical communication with said shield.
According to another broad aspect of the invention there i8 provided the method of fabricating a æhielding device which comprlses forming an lnsulatlng base, provlding thereln a flrst hole and a second hole, coating said base over said holes with a layer of conductlve materlal, placing in said first hole an insulatlng material with a third hole therethrough, and electrlcally interconnecting the coatlngs in said first and second holes.
In preferred embodlments, the insulator base is a unltary ~tructure molded from polyphenylene sulfide reinforced with glass and containing a multlpllcity of spring pin mountlng holes orlented ln pairs, one sprlng pln mountlng hole of each palr belng spaced by a polytetrafluoroethylene lnsulatlng annulus from an electroless nlckel ghleld around the annulus, the other sprlng pin mountlng hole of each palr belng conductlvely connected to the ~hleld by a contlnuum of the electroless nlckel.
In another aspect of the inventlon, I have dlscovered that such a coaxlal shleldlng devlce may be provlded by formlng an ln~ulatlng base containlng a palr of holes therethrough, platlng the base wlth metal, removlng the metal from top and bottom surfaces of the base, and formlng ln one of the holes an annulus of lnsulatlng materlal. In a preferred embodlment a bllnd slot ls ~d ~.27181~
provided between the two holes before plating.
Preferred E~bodiment Following is a description of preferred embodiments of the device and method of the invention.

Referring to Figures 2 and 5, each devlce 10 has a base 16 formed by lnjection molding of glass-filled (40%) polyphenylene sulfide (sold by Phillips Chemlcal Company under the trademark RYTON R-4). ~xtending through base 16 are cylindrically annular layers 18, 20 of dull (for better adhesion) electroless nlckel.
