Hi Ioan!

Here's a solution that requires a bit of a re-layout, and then you have
to use a somewhat different shield. Check out:

I know your pain, I've experienced the same thing...

Hi everybody,

I have a very demanding RF board which has fifteen 2"x2" and five 2"x1"
fences. They are pretty tricky, as they tend to lift corners and require
a lot of rework.

The question is: is it possible not to solder the fences to the PCB, but
only clip them on the opposite side? Is soldering a must for the RF
performance?

Thanks,

Ioan
