1. A shielding enclosure for an electromagnetic device, the shielding enclosure comprising:
- a frame including side walls and an open top, the side walls including elements extending upwardly above the open top, the elements including lateral detent protrusions above the open top; and
a lid to cover the open top of the frame, the lid including a downwardly extending lip which surrounds the frame and has semi-circular cut-out portions in which the lateral detent protrusions nest to engage the elements extending upwardly above the open top.

Abstract
The electromagnetic shielding device includes a frame and a lid. The frame includes sidewalls and upstanding male detent elements with outwardly extending detent protrusions. The lid includes a generally planar top with peripheral lip portions. Slots are formed at the intersection of the lid and the peripheral lip portions so that upstanding male detent elements can extend therethrough and detent engage the frame to the lid. Variations of the detent engagement are shown in different embodiments, by which can be achieved a reduced height of the electromagnetic shielding device.
