An electromagnetic shield is provided and includes a shield body having an upper wall connected to opposing side walls and opposing end walls. At least two opposing walls of the electromagnetic shield each have a plurality of resilient fingers formed at a lower edge thereof. The electromagnetic shield also includes a solder mass securely held by the fingers by being interleaved between the fingers of each of the at least two opposing walls. The interleaving of the solder mass results in the solder mass being securely held by the fingers and ready for mounting to an electronic component for shielding a portion of the electronic component from undesirable and potentially damaging emissions from neighboring components. A method of mounting an electromagnetic shield to an electronic component having a planar surface and a method of interleaving the solder mass are also provided.
